Ag++e-Ag(s)      Eo = 0.80 V, Go = 1F (0.80)
2Ag+2e-Ag(s)    Go = -2F(0.80)                                               = -1.6 F
Cd2+(aq)+2e-cd(s)       E0 = -0.40 V
Cd(s) Cd2++2e-         Eo = 0.40 V                                            G0 = -2F(0.40)                                                      = -0.8 F
