Using the standard electrode potentials given below identify the correct statements from the following.
\[
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe} ; E^{\circ} & =-0.44 \mathrm{~V} \\
\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu} ; E^{\circ} & =+0.34 \mathrm{~V} \\
\mathrm{Ag}^{+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ag} ; E^{\circ} & =+0.80 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}
\]
