For the cell reaction,$2Ce^{4+} + Co \to 2Ce^{3+} + Co^{2+}$,$E_{cell}^o$ is $1.89 \, V$ and $E_{Co/Co^{2+}}^o = +0.28 \, V$. If $E_{Ce^{4+}/Ce^{3+}}^o = x$,then $x$ is ............. $V$.

For the cell $Zn_{(s)} | Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} || M^{x+}_{(aq)} | M_{(s)}$,different half cells and their standard electrode potentials are given below:

$E^o M^{x+} / M (V)$$1.40$$0.80$$0.77$$-0.44$

If $E^o Zn^{2+}/Zn = -0.76 \ V$,which cathode will give a maximum value of $E^o_{cell}$ per electron transferred?
