The standard reduction potential, ${E}_{\text {red }}^{0}$ ,of Zn 2+ (aq)is ?0.762 V.Write the equation for the standard oxidation potential.What is the value of $E_{o x}^{\circ}$ ?

The standard oxidation potential is the reverse of the reduction potential, so the equation is Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ with $E_{ox}^{\circ} = +0.762 \, \text{V}$.
