Question 1
Based on the standard reduction potentials in the table below, which reaction is spontaneous?
Half-Reaction
Cr³(aq) + 3e--> Cr(s)
Cd² (aq) + 2e--> Cd(s)
Ni2 (aq) + 2e --> Ni(s)
E° (V)
-0.74
-0.40
-0.23
O2C³(aq) + 3Cd(s)--> 2Cr(s) + 3Cd2(aq)
O 2Cr³+ (aq) + 3Ni(s)-> 2Cr(s) + 3Ni2 (aq)
O Cd2*(aq) + Ni(s) → Cdls) + Ni2+{aq)
O Cd(s) + Ni2(aq) --> Cd²+ (aq) + Ni(s)
O None of these are spontaneous
