Question
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)
Solution
The possible reaction between `Fe_((aq))^(3+)` and `Cu_((s))` is given by,
`2Fe_((aq))^(3+) + Cu_((s)) -> 2Fe_((s))^(2+) + Cu_((aq))^(2+)`
E° positive for the overall reaction is positive. Hence, the reaction between `Fe_((aq))^(3+)` and `Cu_((s))` is feasible.
Is there an error in this question or solution?
