Calculate the standard cell potential (in $V$) of the cell in which the following reaction takes place:
$Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + Ag^{+}_{(aq)} \to Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + Ag_{(s)}$
Given that:
$E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = x \ V$
$E^o_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} = y \ V$
$E^o_{Fe^{3+}/Fe} = z \ V$

The standard electrode potential $(E^{\circ})$ values of $Al^{3+}/Al, Ag^{+}/Ag, K^{+}/K$ and $Cr^{3+}/Cr$ are $-1.66 \ V, 0.80 \ V, -2.93 \ V$ and $-0.74 \ V,$ respectively. The correct decreasing order of reducing power of the metal is:

The standard reduction potential for $Mg^{2+}/Mg$ is $-2.37 \ V$ and for $Cu^{2+}/Cu$ is $0.337 \ V$. The $E^{\circ}_{cell}$ for the following reaction is $Mg + Cu^{2+} \longrightarrow Mg^{2+} + Cu$

Standard reduction potentials of the half-reactions are given below:
$F_{2(g)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2F^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +2.85 \ V$
$Cl_{2(g)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Cl^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +1.36 \ V$
$Br_{2(l)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Br^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +1.06 \ V$
$I_{2(s)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2I^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +0.53 \ V$
The strongest oxidising and reducing agents respectively are:

If the $emf$ of the cell $Cu(s) | Cu^{2+}(1 \text{ M}) || Ag^+(1 \text{ M}) | Ag(s)$ is $0.463 \text{ V}$ at $25^{\circ} \text{C}$ and the standard electrode potential of the $Cu$ electrode is $0.337 \text{ V}$, find the standard electrode potential of the $Ag$ electrode. (in $\text{ V}$)
