Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential (E°) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their E° (V with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values.

Using this data obtain the correct explanations to Questions 22-24.

I 2 + 2e – → 2I – E° = 0.54

Cl 2 + 2e – → 2Cl – E° = 1.36;

Mn 3+ + e – → Mn 2+ E° = 1.50

Fe 3+ + e – → Fe 2+ E° = 0.77

O 2 + 4H + + 4e – → 2H 2 O E° = 1.23
