Solution

(a) The possible reaction between is given by,

EĀ° for the overall reaction is positive. Thus, the reaction between and is feasible.

(b) The possible reaction between is given by,

EĀ° positive for the overall reaction is positive. Hence, the reaction between and is feasible.

(c) The possible reaction between and is given by,

EĀ° positive for the overall reaction is positive. Hence, the reaction between and is feasible.

(d) The possible reaction betweenand is given by,

Here, EĀ° for the overall reaction is negative. Hence, the reaction between and is not feasible.

(e) The possible reaction betweenand is given by,

Here, EĀ° for the overall reaction is positive. Hence, the reaction between and is feasible.
