If the standard reduction potentials of four electrodes $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are $+2.5 \text{ V}$, $+3.0 \text{ V}$, $-2.0 \text{ V}$, and $-1.5 \text{ V}$ respectively, in which case is the standard $emf$ of the cell maximum?

What is the relationship between Gibbs free energy of the cell reaction in a galvanic cell and the emf of the cell? When will the maximum work be obtained from a galvanic cell?

Electrode potential data are given below :
$Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^- \to Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}; \, E^o = +0.77 \, V$
$Al^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3e^- \to Al_{(s)}; \, E^o = -1.66 \, V$
$Br_{2(aq)} + 2e^- \to 2Br^{-}_{(aq)}; \, E^o = +1.08 \, V$
Based on the data given above,the reducing power of $Fe^{2+}$,$Al$ and $Br^{-}$ will increase in the order:

$(i)$ Copper metal dissolves in $1 \ M$ silver nitrate solution and crystals of silver metal get deposited.
$(ii)$ Silver metal does not react with $1 \ M$ zinc nitrate solution.
$(iii)$ Zinc metal dissolves in $1 \ M$ copper sulphate solution and copper metal gets deposited.
Hence,the order of decreasing strength of the three metals as reducing agents will be:

Which one of the following metals cannot evolve $H_2$ from acids,$H_2O$,or from its compounds?

Which of the following metals cannot displace $H_2$ from acids or $H_2O$ from its compounds?
