(i) A rusted piece of iron undergoes electrochemical reactions. Write the chemical reaction taking place at:
(a) the electrode that behaves as an anode.
(b) the electrode that behaves as a cathode.
(ii) Given that the standard reduction potential for Al3+/Al = -1ˑ66 V and ½ I2/I- = 0ˑ54V, what will be the standard potential of the cell made by using Al3+ and I- ?
