Gibb's Energy and Nernst Equation

Answer, wheth...

Question

Answer, whether under standard conditions, the following reactions are possible or not:
(i) Will copper reduce $A g^{+}$ to $A g$ ? Given: $E_{A g^{+} / A g}^{\circ} = 0.799 v o l t; E_{C u^{2 +} / C u}^{\circ} = 0.337 v o l t$ .
(ii) Will $F e^{3 +}$ be reduced to $F e^{2 +}$ by $S n^{2 +}$ ion? Given:
$F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +} = 0.771 v o l t$ ;
$S n^{2 +} / S n^{4 +} = - 0.250 v o l t$
(iii) Would you use a silver spoon to stir a solution of $C u (N O_{3})_{2}$ ?

Solution

$i)$ Yes copper will reduce $A g^{+}$ to $A g$ because reduction potential of $A g^{+} / A g$ is greater than that of $C u^{2 +} / C u .$
$i i)$ Yes, because $E ° F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +} > E ° s n^{4 +} / s n^{2 +} .$
$i i i) .$ Yes, because silver can't reduce copper.
