From the observations listed, estimate the value of
a. The metal M reacts with
b. The metal M reacts with HCI(aq), producing
(a)
Interpretation:
The value of E°cellshould be estimated for the half reaction of
Concept introduction:
The solid metal should have higher reactivity than the aqueous metal in order to observe the displacement.
In order to react with an acid, the acid anion should have higher reduction potential while oxidizing the metal to metal cation in the acidic medium.
Answer to Problem 1E
Explanation of Solution
If M displaces the Ag+(aq) the
Therefore, lower limit of the estimation for the
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of
Concept introduction:
