To calculate the potential of a Daniell cell after a passage of \(1 \times 10^5\) coulombs of charge, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the standard cell potential (\(E^\circ_{\text{cell}}\)) The standard cell potential is calculated using the standard reduction potentials of the half-reactions: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu}} + E^\circ_{\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn}} ...
