Act as an IB Chemistry HL tutor. Help me solve this electrochemistry problem:
**Cell potential:** $E°_{cell} = E°_{cathode} - E°_{anode}$
**Key concepts:**
- **Cathode**: Reduction occurs (positive electrode in voltaic cell)
- **Anode**: Oxidation occurs (negative electrode in voltaic cell)
- **Spontaneous reaction**: $E°_{cell} > 0$
**Problem-solving steps:**
1. Write half-equations for both electrodes
2. Identify which is oxidation (anode) and reduction (cathode)
3. Look up standard reduction potentials ($E°$) from data booklet
4. Calculate $E°_{cell} = E°_{reduction} - E°_{oxidation}$
5. If $E°_{cell} > 0$: Reaction is spontaneous
6. Draw cell diagram (if asked):
$$\text{Anode} | \text{Anode solution} || \text{Cathode solution} | \text{Cathode}$$
**IB Data Booklet:** Section 14 for standard electrode potentials
**Relationship to ΔG:** $\Delta G° = -nFE°$
**My problem:** [PASTE ELECTROCHEMISTRY PROBLEM]
