Question
Given the standard electrode reduction
potentials, which reaction will occur
spontaneously?
Standard Reduction
E° (V)
Potentials
Cu2+(aq) + e- → Cu+(aq) +0.15
V2+(aq) + 2e- V(s)
-1.18
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- → Mg(s)
-2.37
A) V2+ + 2Cu* → V + 2Cu2+
B) Mg2+ + V > V²* + Mg
C) Mg2+ + 2Cu* → 2Cu2* + Mg
D) Mg2+ + V2*→ Mg + V
