Question

Use the References to access important values if needed for this question Enter electrons as e Use smallest possible integer coefficients. If a box is not needed, leave it blanlk. Use the table 'Standard Reduction Potentials'located in the Tables', to predict if a reaction will occur when Cu metal is put into a 1M aqueous Cd2+ solution. If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank. Submit Answer Retry Entire Group 4 more group attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

Reduction potential value of:

Cu = 0.34 V

Cd2+ = -0.40 V

Since the standard reduction potential value of Cu is greater that that of Cd2+. So, Cu2+ has more tendency to under go reduction than Cd2+. Thus no reaction will occur.
