Use the standard reduction potentials given below to predict if a reaction will occur between Fe(s) and F$_2$(g), when the two are brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaic cell. F$_2$(g) + 2e$^-$ $ ightarrow$ 2F$^-$ (aq) | $E^circ_{red}$ = 2.870 V Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^-$ $ ightarrow$ Fe(s) | $E^circ_{red}$ = -0.440 V If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueous solution. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)
