### Understanding Standard Cell Potential and Calculations

**The Standard Cell Potential:**

The standard cell potential, \( \varepsilon_{298}^\circ = -1.334 \, \text{V} \), is provided for the following half-cell reaction:

\[ \text{Pb (s)} + 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} \rightleftharpoons \text{PbO}_2 \, \text{(s)} + 4 \, \text{H}^+ \, \text{(aq)} + 4 \, \text{e}^- \, . \]

**Task (a): Calculation Using Tabulated Data**

Using additional tabulated data as needed, calculate \( \varepsilon_{298}^\circ \) (in V) for the half-cell reaction:

\[ \text{Pb}^{2+} \, \text{(aq)} + 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} \rightleftharpoons \text{PbO}_2 \, \text{(s)} + 4 \, \text{H}^+ \, \text{(aq)} + 2 \, \text{e}^- \, . \]

**Task (b): Determining the Equilibrium Constant**

Use the cell potentials given or determined in this problem to find the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction:

\[ 2 \, \text{Pb}^{2+} \, \text{(aq)} + 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb (s)} + \text{PbO}_2 \, \text{(s)} + 4 \, \text{H}^+ \, \text{(aq)} \, . \]

**Explanation of Graphs or Diagrams:**

There are no graphs or diagrams in the provided image, only chemical equations and numerical data related to standard cell potential calculations.
