Step 1

We know that higher the standard reduction potential value, greater will be tendency to get reduce at cathode and lower the standard reduction potential value greater will be tendency to get oxidise at anode.

Therefore, from the given standard reduction potential of the copper electrode and chromium electrode. 

     E° of copper is than the E° of chromium 

Hence, copper will reduce and chromium will oxidise.
