Which equation is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct equation for calculating the standard cell potential is E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode. This is because the cell potential is the difference in potential energy between the cathode and anode. Option A is incorrect because it has an extra "B1" term that is not necessary. Option B is incorrect because it adds the two half-cell potentials, which would give the non-standard cell potential. Option D is incorrect because it divides the cathode potential by the anode potential, which does not make sense in the context of calculating the cell potential.
