Question

Calculate E^$\circ$_cell for a silver-aluminum cell in which the cell reaction is Al(s) + 3Ag⁺(aq) $\rarr$ Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ag(s).

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard cell potential E^∘_cell is calculated using the standard reduction potentials: E^∘(Ag⁺/Ag) = +0.80 V and E^∘(Al³⁺/Al) = -1.66 V. The cell potential is E^∘_cell = E^∘(cathode) - E^∘(anode) = 0.80 V - (-1.66 V) = 2.46 V.
