The correct Answer is:
To calculate the cell potential for the given button cell reaction, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions:** The overall cell reaction is given as: \[ \text{Zn(s)} + \text{Ag}_2\text{O(s)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{Ag(s)} + \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{OH}^-(aq) \] From this, we can identify the half-reactions: - Oxidation half-reaction (at the anode): \[ \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Zn(s)}, \quad E^\circ = -0.76 \, \text{V} \] - Reduction half-reaction (at the cathode): \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{O(s)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Ag(s)} + 2\text{OH}^-(aq), \quad E^\circ = 0.34 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Determine Anode and Cathode:** - The anode is where oxidation occurs, which is the zinc half-reaction. - The cathode is where reduction occurs, which is the silver half-reaction. 3. **Calculate the Cell Potential (E_cell):** The cell potential (E_cell) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Substituting the values: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 0.34 \, \text{V} - (-0.76 \, \text{V}) \] \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 0.34 \, \text{V} + 0.76 \, \text{V} = 1.10 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Conclusion:** The cell potential for the button cell is: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 1.10 \, \text{V} \]
