Question

What is the standard electrode potential of a half-reaction in which electrons are transferred from \(Ag^+\) to \(Ag\)?

• A. \(+0.80 \, \text{V}\)
• B. \(+0.34 \, \text{V}\)
• C. \(0 \, \text{V}\)
• D. \(-0.76 \, \text{V}\)

Hint:

The standard electrode potential for the reduction of \(Ag^+\) to \(Ag\) is \(+0.80 \, \text{V}\), which indicates that silver ions are easily reduced to silver metal.
