The redox reaction is

$Ca^{+2} + 2Li(s) = Ca(s) + 2Li^{+}$

Here

Calcium undergoes reduction, and acts as cathode

Lithium undergoes oxidation and acts as anode

The reduction potential of calcium is -2.87 V

The reduction potential of lithium is - -3.05 V

We know that

Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode

Ecell = -2.87 - (-3.05) = 0.18 V
