To determine the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) and the standard cell potential (E°) for the given reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard electrode potentials. The overall reaction is: \[ \text{Zn}(s) + \text{Ag}_2\text{O}(s) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Ag}(s) + 2\text{OH}^-(aq) \] We need to identify the half-reactions involved: ...
