Rewrite the two equations in the reduction form thus.
Pb2+(aq) + 2eE– → Pb(s);
E° = -0.13V ...(i)
Ag+(aq) + e– → Ag(s);
E° = + 0.80V …(ii)
To obtain the equation for the cell reaction, multiply Eq. (ii) with 2 and subtract Eq. (i) from it, we have,
Pb(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Pb2+(aq) + 2Ag(s);
E°cell = + 0.80 - (-0.13)
= + 0.93V
