To determine whether the given reactions are feasible, we can use the standard electrode potentials (E°) of the half-reactions involved. A reaction is feasible if the cell potential (E° cell) is positive. The cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E°_{cell} = E°_{cathode} - E°_{anode} \] Where: - E°_{cathode} is the standard reduction potential of the species being reduced. - E°_{anode} is the standard reduction potential of the species being oxidized. ...
