Question:
Use the standard electrode potential for A, B, C, D and F given below to answer the questions that follows. The letters do not represent the actual symbols of the elements
EQ volts
A (aq) 2+ + 2e → A(s) - 2.90V
B (aq) 2+ 2e →B(s) - 2.38V
C (aq) + + e→ ½ C2 - 0.00V
D (aq) +2 + 2e → D(s) + 0.34V
½ Fe2 + e → F (aq) + 2.87V
