To calculate the standard electrode potential of the given electrochemical cell, we need to determine the reduction half-reaction and the oxidation half-reaction. The reduction half-reaction is the one with the higher standard reduction potential, and the oxidation half-reaction is the one with the lower standard reduction potential.In this case, the reduction half-reaction is:Ag+ aq  + e-  Ag s                                   E= 0.80VAnd the oxidation half-reaction is:Fe3+ aq  + 3e-  Fe s                             E= -0.04VTo calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell, we need to subtract the standard reduction potential of the oxidation half-reaction from the standard reduction potential of the reduction half-reaction:E cell  = E reduction  - E oxidation E cell  = 0.80V -  -0.04V E cell  = 0.80V + 0.04VE cell  = 0.84VThe standard electrode potential of the given electrochemical cell is 0.84V.
