Q.

The standard reduction potentials at 298 K for the following half cells are given below:

NO3-+4H++3e-NO(g)+2H2O     Eθ=0.97 V

V2+(aq)+2e-V                                   Eθ=-1.19 V

Fe3+(aq)+3e-Fe                               Eθ=-0.04 V

Ag+(aq)+e-Ag(s)                              Eθ=0.80 V

Au3+(aq)+3e-Au(s)                          Eθ=1.40 V
