Question
Using the standard electrode potentials given in the Table, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:
$\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})$ and $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})$.

Answer

The possible reaction between $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})$ and $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})$. is given by,$2\text{Ag}^+_{(\text{aq})}+\text{Cu}_{(\text{s})}\rightarrow2\text{Ag}_{(\text{s})}+\text{Cu}^{2+}_{(\text{aq})}$
$\text{Oxidation half equation:}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Cu}_{(\text{s})}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ }\text{Cu}^{2+}_{(\text{aq})}+2\text{e}^-;\ \ \text{E}^\circ=-0.34\text{V}\\\text{Reduction half equation:}\ \ [\text{Ag}^+_{(\text{aq})}+\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ }\text{Ag}_{(\text{s})}]\times2;\ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.80\text{V}\\\overline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\text{Ag}^+_{(\text{aq})}+\text{Cu}_{(\text{s})}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Ag}_{(\text{s})}+\text{Cu}^{2+};\ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.46\text{V}$
E° positive for the overall reaction is positive. Hence, the reaction between $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})$ and $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})$. is feasible.
