Options:
  • A $-0.42$ and 81
  • B $1.1$ and -213
  • C $-1.1$ and 213

The correct answer is: $1.1$ and -213
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cell}}^{0}=\mathrm{E}^{0} \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\left|\mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{E}^{0} \mathrm{Zn}\right| \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cell}}^{0}=0.34+0.76=+1.1 \mathrm{~V}$
$\Delta G=-2 \times 96500 \times 1.1=-213 V$
