What is the standard cell potential for the cell $Zn | Zn^{2+} (1M) || Cu^{2+} (1M) | Cu$? Given $E^o$ for $Zn^{2+} | Zn = -0.76 \ V$ and $E^o$ for $Cu^{2+} | Cu = +0.34 \ V$.

  • A
    $-0.76 + (-0.34) = -0.42 \ V$
  • B
    $-0.34 + 0.76 = +0.42 \ V$
  • C
    $0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.10 \ V$
  • D
    $-0.76 - (+0.34) = -1.10 \ V$
