Problem

The standard reduction potential of Cu2+/Cu\text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu} and Ag+/Ag\text{Ag}^+/\text{Ag} electrodes are 0.337V and 0.799V respectively. Construct a galvanic cell using these electrodes so that its Ecell∘E_{\text{cell}}^\circ is +ve. For what [Ag+][\text{Ag}^+] will the emf of cell at 25°C be zero if [Cu2+][\text{Cu}^{2+}] is 0.01M?
