The $E^{0}_{Red}$ values of $A, B, C,$ and $D$ are $0.8 \, V, 0.79 \, V, 0.34 \, V,$ and $-2.37 \, V$ respectively. Which element can displace the other three from their salt solutions?

Consider the following ${E^0}$ values:
${E^0}_{Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}} = + 0.77 \ V$
${E^0}_{Sn^{2+}/Sn} = - 0.14 \ V$
Under standard conditions,the potential for the reaction $Sn_{(s)} + 2Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} \to 2Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + Sn^{2+}_{(aq)}$ is ............ $V$.

For a Galvanic cell consisting of a zinc electrode and a standard hydrogen electrode,$E^{\circ}(Zn^{+2}_{(aq)} \mid Zn_{(s)}) = -0.76 \ V$. Identify the reaction that takes place at the positive electrode during the working of the cell.
