Nernst equation for a cell @ 298K:
Ecell = Eºcell = 0.0592 / n log Q
n = 2 moles electrons for Pb2+ ==> Pb
Eº = standard potential of the cell
Change in E (∆E) = (Eº - 0.0296 log 1.04x10-3) - (Eº - 0.096 log 2.01x10-5) = 0.0296 log (2.01x10-5/1.04x10-3)
∆E = -0.0507 V = - 50.7 mV
(be sure to check the math)

The math was correct however it said that it had to pe positive08/10/23

Hi sorry, I'm a bit confused on what the Eº is in the equation. What is that referring to? I know that Δ𝐸=𝐸2−𝐸1 but also should it be a positive value not a negative one?08/09/23
