1/2 - 3/7 = 7/14 - 6/14 = 1/14
When E° cell is an electrochemical cell which comprises of two half cells.
So,
when we have the balanced equation of this half cell :
Al3+(aq) + 3e- → Al(s) and E°1 = -1.66 V
and we have also this balanced equation of this half cell :
Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s) and E°2 = 0.8 V
so, we can get E° in Al(s) + 3Ag (aq) → Al3+(aq) + 3Ag(s)
when E° = E°2 - E°1
∴E° =0.8 - (-1.66)
= 2.46 V
∴ the correct answer is 2.46 V
E.g. in H3PO4 (O, -2).
8. The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a species must be equal to net charge on the species. e.g. Net Charge of HClO4 = 0, i.e. [+1(H)+7(Cl)-2<span>*4(O)] = 0.</span>
