Solution Preview

The reaction can be written as:

VO2+ + Ti2+ ---> V2+ + TiO2+

For part a) we need to re-write the given half-reactions so that when added together we get the given reaction. Once we have written these, we can combine them and their individual potentials to determine the potential of the cell. This is explained in greater ...
