Question

Standard potentials (Eº) for some half-reactions are given below :
(I) Sn⁴⁺ + \(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\) \(\text { → }\) Sn²⁺ ; Eº = + 0.15 V
(II) 2Hg²⁺ + \(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)\(\text { → }\) \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2}^{2+}\); Eº = 0.92 V
(III) PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + \(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\) \(\text { → }\) Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O; Eº = + 1.45 V
based on the above, which one of the following statements is correct ?
