Question
**Title: Determining Standard Cell Potentials**

**Objective:**
Determine the standard cell potential (in two decimal places) for the given redox reactions.

**Instructions:**

1. **Reaction (a):**
   \[
   \text{Al(s)} \,|\, \text{Al}^{3+} \,(\text{aq, 1 M}) \,||\, \text{Cu}^{2+} \,(\text{aq, 1 M}) \,|\, \text{Cu(s)}
   \]
   - **Answer:** 2.00 V

2. **Reaction (b):**
   \[
   \text{Al(s)} + \text{NO}_3^- \,(\text{aq}) + 4\text{H}^+ \,(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Al}^{3+} \,(\text{aq}) + \text{NO(g)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
   \]
   - **Answer:** 2.62 V

**Concepts Illustrated:**
- **Standard Cell Potential:** The electromotive force of a cell under standard conditions, measured in volts (V).
- **Redox Reaction:** A chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. In this context, a metal is oxidized while a non-metal is reduced.

**Note:** The reactions and their respective potentials are representative of standard conditions (1 M concentration, 25°C, 1 atm pressure). Calculations are made using standard electrode potentials from a reference table.
