Question
  1. Calculate E for the following unbalanced reactions. Indicate if the reactions are spontaneous as written. (a) Al3+(aq) + Mg(s) → Al(s) + Mg2+(aq)
    (b) ClO4-(aq) +Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → MnO4-(aq) + H+(aq) + ClO3-(aq)

Given data:
Al3+ + 3e-→Al      Ered =-1.66 v

Mg2+ + 2e-→Mg    Ered= -2.37 v
MnO4- + 8H+ +5e-→Mn2+ + 4H2O    Ered= 1.51 v

ClO4- + 2H+ +2e- →ClO3- + H2O       Ered= 1.19 v
