To solve the problem, we need to determine which two electrodes will produce the highest electromotive force (EMF) when combined in a galvanic cell. We will identify the anode and cathode, write the cell reaction, and indicate the direction of electron flow in both the internal and external circuits. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **List the Standard Electrode Potentials**: - \( E^{\circ}_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^{\circ}_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} = -0.44 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^{\circ}_{H^{+}/H_2} = 0.00 \, \text{V} \) ...
