Question

A cell is represented by
$Z n ∣ ∣ {Z n}^{2 +} (a q) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ {C u}^{2 +} (a q) ∣ ∣ C u$ .
Given, ${C u}^{2 +} + {2 e}^{-} ⟶ C u, E^{\circ} = + 0.35 V$ and ${Z n}^{2 +} + {2 e}^{-} ⟶ Z n, E^{\circ} = - 0.763 V$ . Write the cell reactions, emf of the cell and state whether the cell reaction will be spontaneous or not?
