Determine true $(T)$ and false $(F)$ for the following statements:
$(i)$ Always $E_{cell}^o = E_{cell}$
$(ii)$ In standard conditions,$E_{cell}^o = E_{cell}$
$(iii)$ $E_{cell}^o = E_{cell}$ is reached when the cell attains equilibrium.
$(iv)$ $E_{cell}^o = -\frac{\Delta_r G^o}{nF}$

The standard reduction potentials for two half-cell reactions are given below:
$Cd^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd_{(s)}, E^o = -0.40 \ V$
$Ag^{+}_{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow Ag_{(s)}, E^o = 0.80 \ V$
What is the standard free energy change $\Delta G^o$ in $kJ$ for the reaction $2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} + Cd_{(s)} \rightarrow 2Ag_{(s)} + Cd^{2+}_{(aq)}$?

Calculate the $emf$ of the cell $Cu_{(s)} | Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} || Ag^+_{(aq)} | Ag_{(s)}$. Given: $E^0_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = +0.34 \ V$,$E^0_{Ag^+/Ag} = +0.80 \ V$.

The reduction potential values of $A, B, C$ are $0.34 \ V, -0.80 \ V, -0.46 \ V$ respectively. What will be the order of the strength of the reducing agent?

Given the standard electrode potentials: $Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Fe_{(s)}$ $(E^o = -0.44 \ V)$ and $Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}$ $(E^o = 0.77 \ V)$. If $Fe^{2+}$,$Fe^{3+}$,and a piece of $Fe$ are kept together,what happens?
