Electrochemistry Result Question 7

7. For the cell, $\mathrm{Zn}(s)\left|\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q) | M^{\mathrm{x}+}(a q)\right| M(s)$, different half cells and their standard electrode potentials are given below.

If $E{ } _{\mathrm{Zn}^2 / \mathrm{Zn}} \quad 0.76 \mathrm{~V}$, which cathode will give a maximum value of $E _{\text {cell }}^{\mathrm{Zn}}$ per electron transferred?
