To calculate the electromotive force (emf) of the cell represented by the notation `Zn|Zn^(2+) (aq) (1.0M) ||Cu^(2+) (aq) (1.0M) |Cu`, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. - The half-reaction for copper is: \[ Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu \quad (E^\circ = +0.35 \, V) \] - The half-reaction for zinc is: ...
