  • Build Confidence

What is the standard cell potential, \(E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\), for the reaction Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)?
\(E^{\circ}(\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn}) = -0.76\) V
\(E^{\circ}(\text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu}) = +0.34\) V

Hint Hint

Hint

Identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. Use the formula \(E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ} = E_{\text{cathode}}^{\circ} – E_{\text{anode}}^{\circ}\).
