An electrochemical cell is constructed using two half-cells: Al(s) in Al(NO2)3(aq) and Cu(s) in Cu(NO3)2(aq). The two half cells

Answer:

Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)

Explanation:

The standard reduction potential (E°) is the energy necessary to reduce the atom in a redox reaction. When an atom reduces it gains electrons from other than oxides. As higher is E°, easily it will reduce. The substance that reduces is at the cathode of a cell, where the electrons go to, and the other that oxides are at the anode of the cell.

The standard reduction potentials from Al(s) and Cu(s) are, respectively, -1.66V and +0.15V, so the half-cell of Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) is the cathode.
