= (– $\displaystyle 0.25$) – (– $\displaystyle 1.66$) = 1.41V
𝐸cell = $\displaystyle 1.41$ −$\displaystyle 0.059$
𝑙𝑜𝑔
[$\displaystyle 10$−$\displaystyle 1$]$\displaystyle 2$
[$\displaystyle 10$−$\displaystyle 2$]$\displaystyle 3$
= $\displaystyle 1.41$ −
𝑙𝑜𝑔( $\displaystyle 10$+$\displaystyle 4$)
= $\displaystyle 1.41$ −
× $\displaystyle 4$ 𝑙𝑜𝑔$\displaystyle 10$
= $\displaystyle 1.41$ - $\displaystyle 0.039$
= $\displaystyle 1.371$ V
