, Calculate the theoretical cell potential of a Daniell cell (25 °C), which has copper
electrode on the right and zinc electrode on the left. The molal concentrations of
CuSO4(aq) and ZnSO4(aq) are, respectively, 0.1 and 1.0 mol/kg. Find and use the
mean activity coefficients from CRC Handbook assuming that the individual activity
coefficient of an ion equals the mean activity coefficient of the corresponding electrolyte.
