An electrochemical cell is constructed with a Zn (s) electrode in contact with a 0.0520 M solution of Zn(NO3)2 and a Ag (s) electrode in contact with a 0.00420 M solution of AgNO3. Given the two standard reduction potentials, what is the Ecell for this reaction at 5 °C? Ag+ + e– → Ag E° = +0.799 V Zn2+ + 2 e– → Zn E° = –0.762 V
