A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = +0.69 \, \text{V} \). An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 0.60 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.

*Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell.*

### Educational Module: Understanding Standard Reduction Potentials

**1. Minimum Standard Reduction Potential**

- **Question:** Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?
  
  - Options:
    - ☑ yes, there is a minimum.
      - \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = \) [Enter value] V
    - ☐ no minimum

- **Instructions:** 
  - If there is a minimum, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. 
  - If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.

---

**2. Maximum Standard Reduction Potential**

- **Question:** Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?
  
  - Options:
    - ☐ yes, there is a maximum.
      - \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = \) [Enter value] V
    - ☑ no maximum

- **Instructions:**
  - If there is a maximum, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
  - If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box.

---

**3. Writing a Balanced Half-Reaction**

- **Task:** Using the information in the ALEKS Data tab, write a balanced equation describing a half-reaction that could be used at the cathode of this cell.
  
  - \( \boxed{\text{[Enter half-reaction here]}} \)

- **Note:** Write the half-reaction as it would actually occur at the cathode.
