1) voltages listed in reference for voltaic cells are given in terms of standard cell potential (voltages). What is a standard cell? Was your initial voltaic cell a standard cell?

Answer 1

Step 1:

standard cell - a primary cell used as a standard of electromotive force.

A standard electrode potential is the individual potential of a reversible electrode at standard state.

A voltaic cell producing a constant and accurately known electromotive force that can be used to calibrate voltage-measuring instruments.
