the following standard reduction potentials are reported:

Zn^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Zn \quad E^\circ = -0.76\,\text{V}

Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu \quad E^\circ = +0.34\,\text{V}

Calculate the standard cell potential,

E^\circ_{cell}

, for a galvanic cell constructed from these two half-reactions.
