Solution

The correct option is A E0cell = E0cathode - E0anode
The correct formula for determining the voltage of an electrochemical cell is
Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode
Here, the electrode potentials corresponds to the standard reduction potentials.
Cathode is the right hand electrode and anode is left hand electrode.
