9.8 Galvanic (Voltaic) and Electrolytic Cells
BeginnerMCQMathematical13.8k
A student constructs a galvanic cell at \(298\text{ K}\) based on the following overall reaction:

\[ \text{Cu(s)} + 2\,\text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\,\text{Ag(s)} \]

The standard reduction potentials for the relevant half-reactions are given in the table below.

Half-Reaction\(E^\circ\text{ (V)}\)
\(\text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Ag(s)}\)\(+0.80\)
\(\text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\,\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Cu(s)}\)\(+0.34\)

What is the standard cell potential, \(E^\circ_{\text{cell}}\), for the reaction?
