Ecell = 0.76V
Electrode potential of (Cu2+/Cu) = 0.34V
Electrode potential of (M2+/M) = ?

There is one rule to find Ecell. Always subtract big value from small. Here we know the big value is of Cu2+/Cu as its mentioned to be positive electrode. Hence,
ECu - EM = Ecell
0.34 - Em = 0.76
Em = -0.42V

I guess I know the answer, but I am not sure if I am 100% correct.
a) From all three Cr2+ has least positive E(std) value. Hence it needs the strongest reducing agent (more -ve E(std) value agent) to reduce it.
b) From all three Ag has most posivtive E(std) value. Hence it needs the strongest oxidising agent (more +ve E(std) value agent) to oxidise it.
M I corrct? If not then do correct me. Thanks.

I have notes for chemistry unit 3 and physics unit 3, you are doing edexcel IAL correct? If so, just give me your email so i can send you the files
can u kindly give me any notes u have for physics and chemistry ial notes ASAP
Whatever notes u have

Didn't get the tag. :eek:
I think you're answers are right.
Doesn't the book have answers at the back?

Yes. That is correct. You can also use O level chemistry to check your answer- in decreasing reactivity of metals, Chromium, Iron and Silver.

So the most stable ion is Cr2+ and the most stable metal is Ag.

They will require the strongest reducing agent and oxidizing agent respectively to under changes.

Anyone with the new 2016 coursebook, please can you tell me if High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is given in the text book??
It's not in the syllabus so do I need it??

When concentrated nitric acid, HNO3, is added to copper turnings, a brown gas is evolved. Use data from the Data Booklet to construct an ionic equation for this reaction.
which equation of copper should i use and why ?

Well you should use this eq. :Cu + 4H+ + 2NO3– → Cu2+ + 2NO2 + 2H2O. Because it is ionic :3
