Question:

A student was given a standard Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq) half-cell and another half-cell containing an unknown metal M in 1.00 m MNO3(aq) and formed the cell M(s)|M+(aq)||Fe2+(aq)|Fe(s). At 25°C, Ecell = 11.24 V. The reaction was allowed to continue overnight and the two electrodes were weighed. The iron electrode was found to be lighter and the unknown metal electrode was heavier. What is the value of E°(M+/M)?
