At 25°C, E° = +1.88 V for a cell based on the reaction: 3 AgCl(s) + Al(s) → 3 Ag(s) + Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq). Find the cell potential E if [Al³⁺] = 0.20 M and [Cl⁻] = 0.010 M. Answer: +2.01 V

Calculate the voltage for the following cell: (3sf) Zn | Zn2+ (0.10 M) || Cu2+ (0.20 M) | Cu Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s) E° = +0.34 V Zn2+(aq) + 2e- → Zn(s) E° = -0.76 V
Consider the reaction corresponding to a voltaic cell and its standard cell potential. Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ⟶ Cu(s) + Zn^2+(aq) Eocell = 1.1032 V What is the cell potential for a cell with a 2.716 M solution of Zn^2+(aq) and 0.1322 M solution of Cu^2+(aq) at 433.0 K?
