Problem

At 298 K, a galvanic cell operates with the overall reaction

\mathrm{Zn(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Cu(s)}

. The standard cell potential is

E^\circ = 1.10\,\text{V}

. If

[\mathrm{Zn^{2+}}]=0.10\,\text{M}

and

[\mathrm{Cu^{2+}}]=1.0\,\text{M}

, calculate the cell potential,

E

, at the stated temperature. Report your answer to three significant figures.
