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:
