Assuming SATP conditions, (a) calculate the standard cell potential of a copper-zinc cell based on the following net ionic equation: Cu(s) + Zn²*(aq) → Cu?*(aq) + Zn(s). (b) Is this reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous and why?. Note: Standard electrode potential values are available in Appendix A: Reference Tables.
