Answer:

E° = -1.66 V

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard reduction potential is also known as the standard electrode potentials and it tries to find the probability that an element will be reduced or undergo reduction.

From activation series online showing the standard reduction potentials for half cells, the standard reduction potential of Al3+ (aq) + 3e- -> Al(s) is;

E° = -1.66 V
