Question

In a Voltaic cell composed of CuôCu(NO₃)₂ and AgôAgNO₃ half-cells, if the concentration of the electrolytes are: [Ag⁺] = 1.0 x 10^–5 M and [Cu²⁺] = 1.0 M, what the cell potential (E_cell)? The standard reduction potentials are as follows:

Ag⁺(aq) + e^– --> Ag(s); E^o = 0.80 V

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e^– --> Cu(s); E^o = 0.34 V

(A) E_cell = 0.96 V

(B) E_cell = 0.61 V

(D) E_cell = 0.16 V
