A spontaneous galvanic cell consists of a Pb electrode in a 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2 solution and a Cd electrode in a 1.0 M Cd(NO3)2 solution. What is the standard cell potential for this galvanic cell

0.27 V

Explanation:

Given that the both half cells contain 1.0 molar solutions of their respective electrolytes.

E°Pb= -0.13 V

E°Cd = -0.40 V

Since it is a galvanic cell, the electrode having a more negative electrode potential will serve as the anode and the electrode having a less negative electrode potential will serve as the cathode.

Hence cadmium will serve as the anode and lead will serve as the cathode.

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell = -0.13 - (-0.40)

E°cell = 0.27 V
