At \(298 {~K},\) the standard electrode potentials of \(\mathrm{{Cu}^{2+} /{Cu},}\) \(\mathrm{{Zn}^{2+} / {Zn},~~ {Fe}^{2+} / {Fe}}\) and \(\mathrm{{Ag}^{+} / {Ag}} \) are \(\mathrm{0.34 {~V}, -0.76 {~V},}\)  \(\mathrm{-0.44 {~V}}\) and \(\mathrm{0.80 {~V},}\) respectively.
On the basis of standard electrode potentials, predict which of the following reaction can not occur?

2. \(\mathrm{{CuSO}_{4}({aq})+{Zn}({s})} \) \(\mathrm{→ {ZnSO}_{4}({aq})+{Cu}({s})} \)
3. \(\mathrm{{CuSO}_{4}({aq})+{Fe}({s})} \) \(\mathrm{→ {FeSO}_{4}({aq})+{Cu}({s})} \)
4. \(\mathrm{{FeSO}_{4}({aq})+{Zn}({s})} \) \(→ \mathrm{{ZnSO}_{4}({aq})+{Fe}({s})} \)

The standard electrode potential (E°) values of  Al3+/ Al,  Ag+ / Ag, K+ / K,  and Cr3+ / Cr are –1.66 V, 0.80 V, –2.93 V, & –0.79 V respectively. The correct decreasing order of the reducing power of the metals is:

1. Ag > Cr > Al > K 2. K > Al > Cr > Ag
3. K > Al > Ag > Cr 4. Al > K > Ag > Cr

A solution contains Fe2+, Fe3+ and I ions. This solution was treated with iodine at 35°C. E° for Fe3+/Fe2+ is +0.77 V and E° for I2/2I = 0.536 V.
The favourable redox reaction is:

1. Fe2+ will be oxidized to Fe3+.

2. I2 will be reduced to I.

3. There will be no redox reaction.

4. I will be oxidized to I2.

Standard electrode potentials are:

\(F e^{+ 2} / F e\)\(E^\circ\) \(=\) \(- 0 .44\)

\(F e^{+ 3} / F e^{+ 2}\)\(E ^\circ\) \(= 0 . 77\)
