Title: What will be the cell potential for this reaction
Post by: Annonn on Apr 1, 2022
 Consider the following electrochemical reaction:
Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) →  Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)   E° = +1.10 V
What will be the cell potential for this reaction when [Cu2+] = 1.00 M and [Zn2+] = 1.0 x 10-3 M?

+1.14 V

+1.19 V

+1.01 V

+1.06 V

-1.90 V

ecell = 1.10 - (0.0592/2) log (1.00 M / 1.0 x 10-3 M)

I'm a little confused about what that means because I'm given a list of options to choose from and that isn't on the option list

Use your calculator, should be 1.01
