Answer:
Only gives spontaneous reaction.
Explanation:
A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential () of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change (
), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.
Where and
represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.
(1) Oxidation: ;
Reduction: ;
So,
Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.
(2) Similarly as above,
Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.
(3) Similarly as above,
Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.
(4) Similarly as above,
Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.
