Final answer:

The standard potential of the galvanic cell can be calculated using the formula E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard potential of a galvanic cell can be calculated using the formula:

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

In this case, the cathode is Pt(s) | Fe³⁺(aq), Fe²⁺(aq) and the anode is Ag₂+ | Ag(s). Using data from Appendix L in your textbook, you can find the standard reduction potentials for each half-reaction and calculate the standard cell potential.
