Four alkali metals $A$,$B$,$C$ and $D$ have standard electrode potentials of $-3.05 \ V$,$-1.66 \ V$,$-0.40 \ V$ and $0.80 \ V$ respectively. Which one will be the most reactive?

If $E^{\circ}(Fe^{+2}_{(aq)} \mid Fe_{(s)}) = -0.44 \ V$ and $E^{\circ}(Sn^{+2}_{(aq)} \mid Sn_{(s)}) = -0.14 \ V$,what is the standard $emf$ of the cell containing the two electrodes?

Standard electrode potentials are given:
$A^{+}/A = -2.93 \ V$ $B^{+}/B = 0.80 \ V$
