Standard reduction potentials of the following electrodes are given in the series as E*Cu 2+ /Cu = +0.34 V and E*Al 3+ /Al = -1.66 V. From the data give the answer of following: Construct a electrochemical cell and represent it in symbolic form , Write half cell reactions and overall cell reactionsof the cell.

lower SRP electrode actsas anode hence Al acts as anode
anode reaction is Al ---->Al+3 + 3e
cathode reaction is Cu+2 + 2e --------> Cu
net cell reaction is 2Al + 3Cu2+ --------> 2Al+3  +3Cu+2
Al/Al+3// Cu+2/Cu is cell representation
