Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential $(E^{\circ})$ of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. $A$ simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their $E^{\circ}$ ($V$ with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values.
$I_2 + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2I^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.54 \ V$
$Cl_2 + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cl^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 1.36 \ V$
$Mn^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \quad E^{\circ} = 1.50 \ V$
$Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.77 \ V$
$O_2 + 4H^{+} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 2H_2O \quad E^{\circ} = 1.23 \ V$
