Question
Given the cell notation
Zn(s) | Zn2*(aq, a+/. =
0.0120) || Mn3*(aq, a+/- = 0.200), Mn2*(aq, a,/-
%3D
0.0250) | Pt(s)
Based on the reaction quotient, Q, is the reaction spontaneous as written?
Qa = 1.88 x 10-4 < K,
The reaction is spontaneous as written.
O There is not enough information to determine.
Qa =3.32 x 1014 < Ka
The reaction is not spontaneous as written.
= 9.38 x 1084 >Ka
The reaction is not spontaneous as written.
