Consider the cell at 350 K based on the reaction

\mathrm{Cl}_2(g) + \mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\,\mathrm{Cl}^-(aq) + \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(aq)

Relevant standard reduction potentials are

E^{\circ}(\mathrm{Cl}_2/\mathrm{Cl}^-) = +1.36\,\text{V}

and

E^{\circ}(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}/\mathrm{Zn}) = -0.76\,\text{V}

. The system contains

\mathrm{Cl}^-(aq)

0.30\,\text{M}

\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(aq)

0.050\,\text{M}

, and

\mathrm{Cl}_2(g)

0.80\,\text{atm}

. What is the cell potential under these conditions? (a)

2.28\,\text{V}

(b)

2.04\,\text{V}

(c)

2.20\,\text{V}

(d)

2.19\,\text{V}
