Solution Preview

Please see the attached file.

The cell can be drawn as shown above

The cell reaction can be written as

EMF of the cell can be calculated as Ecell= EL - ER

Ecell = 0.3-0.8
Ecell= -0.5

EMF of the cell at 250C can be calculated using Nernst equation

Ecell = E0cell - 0.0591/nlog [oxidized]/[Reduced]

Ecell= -0.5-0.0591/2log [0.5]/[0.6]

Ecell= ...
