Use the standard reduction potentials given below to predict if a reaction will occur between Cr(s)andBr(l), when the two are brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaic cell. Br2(l)+2e2Br(aq)Cr3+(aq)+3eCr(s)Ered0=1.080VEredo=0.740V If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueous solution. I no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)
