Calculate E_cell for the following electrochemical cell at 25°C given that the standard cell potential,
E°_cell,is 0.460 V.
Cu(s) | Cu²⁺(aq,0.012 M) || Ag⁺(aq,0.17 M) | Ag(s)

The Nernst equation is used to calculate the cell potential under non-standard conditions: E_cell = E°_cell - (RT/nF) * ln(Q). For this cell, Q = [Cu^2+]/[Ag^+]^2. Plugging in the values and constants, E_cell = 0.460 V - (0.0257 V/1) * ln(0.012/0.17^2) = 0.471 V.
