Chapter 17, Problem 13E

Write the following balanced reactions using cell notation. Use platinum as an inert electrode, if needed..

(a) $\text{Mg}\left(s\right)+{\text{Ni}}^{2+}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{Mg}}^{2+}\left(aq\right)+\text{Ni}\left(s\right)$

(b) $2{\text{Ag}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+\text{Cu}\left(s\right)\to {\text{Cu}}^2\left(aq\right)+2\text{Ag}\left(s\right)$

(c) $\text{Mn}\left(s\right)+\text{Sn}{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2\left(aq\right)\to \text{Mn}{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2\left(aq\right)+\text{Au}\left(s\right)$

(d) $3{\text{CuNO}}_3\left(aq\right)+\text{Au}{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_3\left(aq\right)\to 3\text{Cu}{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_2\left(aq\right)+\text{Au}\left(s\right)$
