Question

The standard reduction potentials at $298 \mathrm{~K}$ for the following half cells are given below:

$\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{E}^{\theta}=0.97 \mathrm{~V}$

$\mathrm{V}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{V} \quad\quad\quad \mathrm{E}^{\theta}=-1.19 \mathrm{~V}$

$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe} \quad\quad\quad \mathrm{E}^{\theta}=-0.04 \mathrm{~V}$

$\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{s}) \quad\quad\quad \mathrm{E}^{\theta}=0.80 \mathrm{~V}$

$\mathrm{Au}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{s}) \quad\quad\quad \mathrm{E}^{\theta}=1.40 \mathrm{~V}$
