Calculating potential difference (1 Viewer)

[xFusion]

can anyone tell me when calculating potential difference,
Zn -> Zn2+ + 2e
Ag- +e -> Ag
Would the standard potential calculation for Ag be 0.8V or 1.6V since 2 Ag ions would be needed to balance the equation.

You do not need to double the voltage to balance it.

Even if its 10 Ag, you don't need to increase the voltage.

lol the one trick to calculating emfs, i have also seen a question like that but with volumes of gases at room temp instead

lol ok thanks for the help
