If a reducing agent M reacts with an oxidizing agent A⁺ to give M⁺ and A, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.0, then what is the E° value for the oxidation-reduction reaction at 25°C?

The equilibrium constant (K) for the reaction is 1.0. According to the Nernst equation, when K = 1, the logarithmic term becomes log(1) = 0, making the E° (standard cell potential) equal to 0.0 V.
