To solve the problem, we need to calculate the cell e.m.f. (electromotive force) and the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for the given electrochemical cell reaction at 298 K. ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard electrode potentials The cell consists of two half-reactions: 1. Anode (oxidation): \( \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn}} = -0.763 \, \text{V} \) 2. Cathode (reduction): \( \text{Cd}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cd} \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{Cd}^{2+}/\text{Cd}} = -0.403 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 2: Write the overall cell reaction ...
