One method for protecting metals against corrosion is to connect the metal directly to a "sacrificial anode". This is the method used to protect pipelines and ships hulls. Which of the following metals would you consider the best candidate for a sacrificial anode for a ship's hull? The hull is steel (which is mostly iron).

Consider a cell composed of the following half-reactions. Determine the magnitude of E° for the cell and decide whether the reaction will be product-favored or reactant-favored as written.

Cs + Cl₂ CsCl₂

Fe + Fe₂(SO₃)₃ 3FeSO₃
