Problem

Consider the following standard electrode potentials:
SO42−(aq)+4H+(aq)+2e−⇌\text{SO}_4^{2-}(\text{aq}) + 4\text{H}^+(\text{aq}) + 2\text{e}^- \rightleftharpoonsEcell⊖=E^\ominus_{\text{cell}} =
H2SO3(aq)+H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{SO}_3(\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l})+0.17 V+0.17 \text{ V}
Ag+(aq)+e−→Ag(s)\text{Ag}^+(\text{aq}) + \text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Ag}(\text{s})Ecell⊖=E^\ominus_{\text{cell}} =
+0.80 V+0.80 \text{ V}
What is the cell potential, in V, for the spontaneous reaction that occurs when these two half-cells are connected in a voltaic cell?
