                Calculate  for the electrochemical cell below,
Ag(s) | AgCl(s) | Cl–(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)
given the following standard reduction potentials.
Cu2+(aq) + 2 e– -> Cu(s) E = +0.337 V
AgCl(s) + e– -> Ag(s) + Cl–(aq) E = +0.222 V

    I think when the cell is set up as written above (with the diagram) it means
Ag + Cl^- ==> AgCl + e E = -0.222
Cu^2+ + 2e --> Cu E = 0.337
So the sum is +0.115 or c.
