A voltaic cell is made by connecting two half cells represented by half equations below:
$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Sn}_{(a q)}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Sn}_{(\mathrm{s})} \mathrm{E}^{\mathrm{o}}=-0.14 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})} \mathrm{E}^{\mathrm{o}}=+0.77 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}$$
Which statement is correct about this voltaic cell?
Four half reactions I to IV are shown below:
I. $$2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cl}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$$
II. $$4 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{O}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$$
III. $$\mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}$$
IV. $$2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2$$
Which two of these reactions are most likely to occur when concentrated brine is electrolysed?
