A voltaic cell is constructed in which a copper wire is placed in a 1 M Cu(NO3)2 solution and a strip of gold is placed in a 1 M AuNO3 solution. The measure potential of the cell is found to be 1.36 V and the copper electrode is negative. Given that the E0 for the Cu2+/Cu half cell is +0.34 V, calculate the E0 for the Au+/A
