Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard cell potential of the electrochemical cell can be calculated using the formula: E°cell = E°red, cathode - E°red, anode. We can identify the cathode and anode half-reactions by looking at the direction that electrons flow in the cell. In this case, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, so the anode half-reaction is the reduction of F1F1F1S1F1F1F1 and the cathode half-reaction is the oxidation of F1F1F1S1F1F1F1. Thus, E°cell = E°red, cathode - E°red, anode = 1.66 V - (-0.34 V) = 2.00 V. Therefore, the best choice is C, which is (F1F1F1S1F1F1F102.00 V).
