A strip of zinc metal immersed in a solution of a lead (II) salt will be oxidized, while the lead (II) is reduced to metallic lead (lead (0)). However, a strip of metallic lead immersed in a solution of a zinc salt results in no reaction. Explain why this is so. Utilize BOTH the concepts of the associated potentials (Eed and/or Eeu) AND thermodynamics (i.e. AGrxn) in your explanation. beale nonouon hlo
