Chapter 11, Problem 35E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ${\text{E}}^{\text{0}}$ value for the given half reaction needs to be determined and compared with the value with the ${\text{E}}^{\text{0}}$ value in the table.

Concept introduction: Cell potential of an electrochemical cell is the measure of the difference in potential between its cathode and anode.

The overall cell potential can be calculated by using the equation,

. ${\text{E}}^{\text{0}}{}_{\text{Cell}}{\text{= E}}^{\text{0}}{}_{\text{Cathode}}-{\text{ E}}^{\text{0}}{}_{\text{anode}}$
