Solution
The correct options are AFe/Fe2+;E−=−0.44 BAl/Al3+;E−=−1.66 The following will act as anodes when connected to standard hydrogen electrode as they have more negative standard reduction potential as compared to standard hydrogen electrode. Al/Al3+;E−=−1.66 Fe/Fe2+;E−=−0.44 The following will act as cathodes when connected to standard hydrogen electrode as they have more positive standard reduction potential as compared to standard hydrogen electrode. Cu/Cu2+;E−=+0.34 F2(g)/2F−(aq);E−=+2.87
