The standard oxidation potentials, Eo, for the half cell reactions are as follows: Zn→Zn2++2e−,Eo=0.76VFe→Fe2++2e−,Eo=0.41V
The EMF for the cell oxidation, Fe2++Zn→Zn2++Fe(Give your answer upto two decimal only)

Solution
We know that,
Electrode with higher oxidation potential acts as an anode Eocell=(Eored(cathode)−Eored(anode)=0.41−(−0.76)=0.41+0.76=0.35V
