What is the standard EMF if the following half reactions are combined in a galvanic cell?
(Equation 1) Co3+( aq ) + e ---- Co2+ (aq) E= 1.82 V
(Equation 2 ) Na+ (aq)+ e ----- Na (s) E= -2.71V
Ecell = Ered+Eox We have to reverse the first equation to 1.82 and also the second equation + 2.71
so 1.82+(+2.71)= 0.89
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks
