22M.1A.HL.TZ2.30
Which E⦵ value, in V, for the reaction Mn (s) + Zn2+ (aq) → Mn2+ (aq) + Zn (s) can be deduced from the following equations?
Mn (s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → Mn2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s) E⦵ = 1.98 V
Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s) E⦵ = 1.10 V
Cu (s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → Cu2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s) E⦵ = 0.46 V

Reactivity 3. What are the mechanisms of chemical change? » Reactivity 3.2—Electron transfer reactions » Reactivity 3.2.13—Standard cell potential, E⦵cell, can be calculated from standard electrode potentials. E⦵cell has a positive value for a spontaneous reaction. Predict whether a reaction is spontaneous in the forward or reverse direction from E⦵ data.
