At 25°C, which of the following pairs would you predict to react spontaneously? 


Ba2+(aq) + 2e- → Ba(s)                 E° = -2.90 V

Sn4+(aq) + 2e- → Sn2+(aq)           E° = 0.15 V

Mg2+(aq) + 2e- → Mg(s)               E° = -2.37 V

Zn2+(aq) + 2e- → Zn(s)                 E° = -0.73 V

Na+(aq) + e- → Na(s)                    E° = -2.71 V

Fe3+(aq) + 3e- → Fe(s)                 E° = -0.036 V

Cr3+(aq) + 3e- → Cr(s)                  E° = -0.73 V

Ni2+(aq) + 2e- → Ni(s)                  E° = -0.23 V
