Chemistry

a) Calculate the cell potential at 25°C for the cell

Fe(s) I (Fe2+ (0.100 M) II Pd2+(1.0 × 10-5 M) I Pd(s)

given that the standard reduction potential forFe2+/Fe is -0.45 V and for Pd2+/Pd is +0.95V. - Please show the steps

b) Based on the half-reactions and their respective standardreduction potentials below, the strongest reducing agent is________, and the strongest oxidizing agent is ________.

      Ag+ (aq) +e- →Ag(s)           0.80 V

           2 H+ (aq) + 2 e- → H2(g)       0.00 V

           Cd2+ (aq) + 2 e- →Cd(s)        -0.40V

The answer is

Cd, Ag+

Can you please explain to me why this is the right answer.
