Answer:
Au^3+(aq) +3e ------> Au(s). 1.50 V
Explanation:
When we construct the galvanic cell, our intention is to produce energy by spontaneous electrochemical reactions. In order to have a spontaneous electrochemical reaction, E°cell must be positive. The more positive the value of E°cell, the more spontaneous the reaction is.
E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode
If E°cathode= 1.50 V
E°anode= -0.25 V
E°cell= 1.50 -(-0.25)
E°cell= 1.75 V
Hence the process; Au^3+(aq) +3e ------> Au(s) yields the highest standard cell potential
