To calculate the e.m.f. of the cell `Zn | Zn^(2+)(1M) | | Ag^(+)(1M) | Ag`, we will use the standard reduction potentials of the half-reactions involved. The e.m.f. of a cell can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials From the given data: 1. For the cell `Ag | Ag^(+)(1M) | | Cu^(2+)(1M) | Cu`, the standard e.m.f. is \( E^\circ = -0.46 \, V \). ...
