### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding Standard EMF of a Cell** The standard electromotive force (emf) of a cell is defined as the potential difference between the two electrodes of an electrochemical cell when no current is flowing. It is a measure of the cell's ability to drive an electrochemical reaction under standard conditions (1 M concentration for solutions, 1 atm pressure for gases, and a temperature of 25°C). **Step 2: Standard Reduction Potentials** The standard emf (E°) of a cell can be calculated using the standard reduction potentials of the cathode (E°_cathode) and anode (E°_anode). The relationship is given by: \[ ...
