Cell Potential and Free Energy

AP Chemistry· difficulty 4/5

Given E°(Cu²⁺/Cu) = +0.34 V and E°(Zn²⁺/Zn) = −0.76 V, E°_cell for Zn + Cu²⁺ is

  • A

    +0.42 V

  • B

    +0.76 V

  • C

    +1.10 V

    check_circle
  • D

    −1.10 V

Explanation

E°_cell = E°_cathode − E°_anode = 0.34 − (−0.76) = +1.10 V.
