b) From the reduction potentials given in the table determine which pair of chemical reactions would yield the highest battery cell voltage. Calculate this cell voltage. (6 points) c) For this pair of reactions determined above, what would be the cathode material and what would be the anode material? (4 points) d) How does this cell voltage compare with the voltage of an alkaline battery cell? (3 points) e) How does this cell voltage compare with the voltage of a lithium-ion battery cell?
