The standard reduction potential for Na and Cl are -2.71, +1.36 V. Let the electron reference state be the electron in Cl- of the NaCl. An electron was just liberated from Cl-, forming Cl2. What's the minimum energy change required for this electron so that it can reunite with a Na+ to form the Na metal? Answer in units of electron volts. Keep 2 decimal places.
