To calculate the e.m.f. (electromotive force) of the cell, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard electrode potentials. We have two half-reactions: 1. **Zinc Reaction**: \[ \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Zn}, \quad E^\Theta = -0.76 \, \text{V} \quad \text{(i)} \] ...
