Build voltaic electrochemical cells using the following metals: Al(s), Ni(s), Cu(s), Zn(s), and Mn(s). Except for Al(s), all other reactions are two-electron transfers. Select the anode and then rank the metals according to increasing E°cell compared to that anode. The standard reduction potentials for these metals are below.

Build voltaic electrochemical cells using the following metals: Al(s), Ni(s), Cu(s), Zn(s), and Mn(s). Except for Al(s), all other reactions are two-electron transfers. Select the anode and then rank the metals according to increasing E°cell compared to that anode. The standard reduction potentials for these metals are below.
Cu2+(aq)+2e−--->Cu(s)  E° = 0.3419 V
Ni2+(aq)+2e−---->Ni(s)  E° = −0.257 V
Zn2+(aq)+2e−---->Zn(s)  E° = −0.7618 V
Mn2+(aq)+2e−---->Mn(s)  E° = −1.249 V
Al3+(aq)+3e−--->Al(s) E° = −1.662 V

Indicate which one of the metals should be the anode in all reactions.
