Use electrode potentials to answer the following questions.
(a) Is the oxidation of nickel by iron(III) ion a spontaneous reaction under standard conditions?
Ni(s) + 2Fe3+(aq) → Ni2+(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq)
(b) Will iron(III) ion oxidize tin(II) ion to tin(IV) ion under standard conditions?
2Fe3+(aq) + Sn2+(aq) → 2Fe2+(aq) + Sn4+(aq)
