  4. D \(-1.114 \mathrm{V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.3125 \mathrm{V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Species with more negative \(E^{\circ}\) (standard reduction potential) generally acts as reducing agent while with less negative \(E^{\circ}\) acts as oxidising agent. Thus, the overall reaction is…
