my question is in three electrode system: working electrode, Pt counter electrode, and Ag/AgCl reference electrode.
for example, Mn2+ + 2 H2O -MnO2 + 4 H+ + 2 e− ( −1.22 V), the deposition of Mno2 will be accomplished on postive potential. Cr3+ +3e- Cr ( −0.74 V), the depsotion of metallic Cr...

Mn2+ + 2 H2O - MnO2 + 4 H+ + 2 e− ( −1.22 V), this reaction is acucurate. the standard potential is negative, then why all the work for the formation of MnO2 need to be done in anodic potential?
