Question
**Problem Overview:**

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = -1.02 \, \text{V} \). An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least \( 0.80 \, \text{V} \) of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.

*Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell.*

**Question 1: Minimum Standard Reduction Potential**

- Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

  - \( \bigcirc \) yes, there is a minimum. \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = \boxed{} \, \text{V} \)

  - \( \bigcirc \) no minimum

*If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.*

**Question 2: Maximum Standard Reduction Potential**

- Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

  - \( \bigcirc \) yes, there is a maximum. \( E_{\text{red}}^0 = \boxed{} \, \text{V} \)

  - \( \bigcirc \) no maximum

*If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box.*

**Balanced Equation Requirement**

- By using the information in the ALEKS Data tab, write a balanced equation describing a half-reaction that could be used at the cathode of this cell.

  - \( \boxed{} \)

*Note: write the half-reaction as it would actually occur at the cathode.*

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram to the right is a tool for entering electron symbols and subscripts, featuring a reset button for corrections.
