1. Use the nernst equation to calculate the cell potentials of the following cells at 298K:

 a.) Cu(s) + PtCl62-(0.10M) -> Cu2+(aq)(0.20M) + PtCl42-(aq)(0.10M) + 2Cl-(aq)(0.40M)

b.)Pb(s) + SO42-(aq)(0.30M)+2AgCl(s) -> PbSO4(s) + 2Ag(s) + Cl-(aq)(0.20M)

2. One-half cell in a voltaic cell is constructed from a silver wire dipped into a AgNO3 solution of unknown concentration. The other half-cell consists of a zinc electrode in a 1.0 M solution of Zn(NO3)2. A potential of 1.48 V is measured for this cell. Use this information to calculate the concentration of Ag+(aq).
