The standard electrode potentials at 298 K are given below:
`E_(Zn^(2+)| Zn )^(0)` = -0.76 volt and ,`E_(Fe^(2+)|Fe)^(0)` = -0.44 volt ,`E_(H^(2+)|H_(2))^(0)` = -0.0volt
Which of the two electrodes should be combined to form a cell having highest EMF? Identify the cathode and the anode and write the cell reaction. Also mention the direction of flow of electrons in the external as well as the internal circuit.

To solve the problem, we need to determine which electrodes to combine to form a cell with the highest electromotive force (EMF). We will identify the anode and cathode, write the cell reaction, and describe the flow of electrons in both the internal and external circuits. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Standard Electrode Potentials**: - Given: - \( E^{\circ}_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^{\circ}_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} = -0.44 \, \text{V} \) ...
