Paragraph:
Redox reaction play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential $\left(E^{\circ}\right)$ of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their $E^{\circ}(V$ with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values. Using this data obtain the correct explanations to Questions 14-19.
$$
\begin{array}{cl}
\mathrm{I}_2+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{I}^{-} & E^{\circ}=0.54 \\
\mathrm{Cl}_2+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} & E^{\circ}=1.36 \\
\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} & E^{\circ}=1.50 \\
\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} & E^{\circ}=0.77 \\
\mathrm{O}_2+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} & E^{\circ}=1.23
\end{array}
