Calculate the standard cell potential for each of the electrochemical cells in Problem 44.

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the half-reactions involved in the electrochemical cell from Problem 44.
Write the reduction half-reaction and its standard reduction potential, E° (from a standard reduction potential table).
Write the oxidation half-reaction and its standard reduction potential, E° (from a standard reduction potential table).
Calculate the standard cell potential, E°_cell, using the formula: E°_cell = E°_cathode - E°_anode.
Ensure that the units are consistent and the final E°_cell is expressed in volts (V).
