<span>An explosion that releases great amounts of heat is an example of an exothermic process. Any reaction that gives off or releases energy as light, electricity, heat, or sound is considered to be exothermic, with "exo" meaning "outside". An explosion is one of the most extreme cases of exothermic reactions.</span>

Answer: The potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

Explanation:

$E^0_(Cr^{3+}/Cr)$ =-0.74V[/tex]

$E^0_(Cu^{2+}/Cu)$ =0.34V[/tex]

The element with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Here Cr undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

$2Cr+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}+3Cu$
