Question

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

Philoid · Accepted Answer

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

E° for the overall reaction is negative. Thus, the reaction between Ag(s) and Fe³⁺(aq) is not feasible.

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