Expert Solution
Step 1
Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-part for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts which you want us to solve.
Step 2
For the reaction to be spontaneous, its EMF should be positive. The reactions taking place will be as follows:
Multiplying equation (2) by 3 so as to cancel the electrons.
The overall spontaneous reaction taking place will be as follows :
