Expert Solution
Step 1

The preparation of Cr?- (aq) from Cr(s) and Cr3+ (aq) can be done as given below;

(1) Cr3+ (aq) + e-  ----> Cr2+ (aq)                    E° = -0.41 V

Multiply equation (1) by (2);

(2) 2Cr3+ (aq) + 2e- ----> 2Cr2+ (aq)               E° = -0.41 V

Now;

(3) Cr2+ (aq)+ 2e- ----> Cr (s)                           E° = -0.91 V

(4) Cr(s) ----> Cr2+ (aq) + 2e                          E° = -0.91 V
