The reaction represented by the equation above serves as the basis for the construction of an electrochemical cell. The table gives the reduction half-reactions and their respective standard
reduction potentials. Based on the overall reaction, which type of electrochemical cell was constructed, and why?
A galvanic or voltaic cell, because the standard reduction potentials for the two half-reactions are positive and E = 0.80 + 0.34 = +1.14 V.
B
A galvanic or voltaic cell, because the standard reduction potentials for the two half-reactions are positive and E = 0.80 – 0.34 = +0.46 V.
