`a.` Anode reaction `:`
`[Cr(s) rarr Cr^(3+)(0.1M)+cancel (3e^(-))]xx2`

`E^(c-)._(cell)=(E^(c-)._(reduction))_(c)-(E^(c-)._(reduction))_(a)`
`=-0.44-(-0.74)=0.3V`
Using Nernest equation `:n_(cell)=6)`
`E_(cell)=E^(c-)._(cell)-(0.059)/(6)log.([Cr^(3+)]^(2))/([Fe^(2+)]^(3))`
`=0.3V-(0.06)/(6)log.((0.2)^(2))/((0.01)^(3))`

`E_(cell)=(E^(c)._(reduction))_(c)-(E^(c-)._(reduction ))_(a)`
`=1.36V-0.80V=0.56V`
Using Nernst equation `: (n_(cell=2` activity of `Ag=1,` take `0.059~~0.06)`
