GRADED
Consider the voltaic cell in which the reaction is
2Ag^{+}(aq) + Cd(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cd^{2+}(aq)
ⓐ Use Table 17.1 to calculate E° for the voltaic cell.
Table 17.1 Standard Potentials in Water Solution at 25°C
Lithium is the strongest reducing agent.
O = strongest oxidizing agent;
Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent.
Lithium and fluorine are very dangerous materials to work with.

ⓑ If the value zero is arbitrarily assigned to the standard voltage for the reduction of Ag^{+} ions to Ag, what is E°_{red} for the reduction of Cd^{2+} ions to Cd?
ⓐ
STRATEGY
1. Assign oxidation numbers to each element so you can decide which element is reduced and which one is oxidized.
2. Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions together with the corresponding E°_{ox} and E°_{red}. Recall that E°_{ox} = -(E°_{red}).
3. Add both half-reactions (make sure you cancel electrons) and take the sum of E°_{ox} and E°_{red} to obtain E° for the cell.
