Calculate the standard electrode potential of the copper electrode if the standard electrode potential of the zinc electrode is -0.76 V and the standard cell potential is 1.10 V for the cell reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s). Use the equation Eºcell=Eº cathode - Eº anode where Eºcell is the standard cell potential, Eºcathode is the standard potential for the reduction half-reaction, and Eºanode is the standard potential for the oxidation half-reaction.

Considering the reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) -> Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) What is the cell potential (in volts) at 25°C when the concentrations of [Cu2+] and [Zn2+] are 0.5 M and 1.0 M, respectively, and the zinc electrode is the anode? The standard reduction potentials for Cu2+/Cu and Zn2+/Zn are 0.34 V and -0.76 V, respectively.
