    This document contains information about two electrochemical cells: 1. A cell connecting a Cu2+/Cu half-cell and a Fe2+/Fe half-cell, with a standard cell potential of +0.75 V. The cell notation is Cu2+/Cu||Fe2+/Fe and the overall reaction is Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s). 2. A Zn2+/Zn half-cell measured against a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) with an emf of -0.76 V. The cell notation is SHE||Zn2+/Zn and the electrode potential of the Zn2+/Zn half-cell is -0.
