Question
Reduction potential of two metals M1 and M2 are \[\ce{E^0_{{M_1^{2+}|M_1}}}\] = −2.3 V and \[\ce{E^0_{{M_2^{2+}|M_2}}}\] = 0.2 V. Predict which one is better for coating the surface of iron.
Given: \[\ce{E^0_{{Fe^{2+}|Fe}}}\] = −0.44 V

Solution
oxidation potential of M1 is more +ve than the oxidation potential of Fe which indicates that it will prevent iron from rusting.
