Question

Using the standard electrode potentials given in the Table 8.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible: Fe 3+ (aq) and Cu(s)

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The possible reaction between Fe³⁺(aq) and Cu(s) can be represented by the following equation:–

E° for the overall reaction is positive. Thus, the reaction between Fe³⁺(aq) and Cu(s) is feasible.

Using the standard electrode potentials given in the Table 8.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:Fe3+(aq) and Cu(s)
