If half cell reaction A+e-. --->A has a large negative reduction potential what does a follow in that?

Solution

A solution with a higher reduction potential twill have a tendency to gain electrons from the new species (i.e. to be reduced by oxidizing the new species) and a solution with a lower (more negative) reduction potential will have a tendency to lose electrons to the new species.
