Question

A redox reaction occurs between iron and tin with the half-reactions shown. What can you conclude about the spontaneity of the reaction?

Fe(s) Fe2+(aq) + 2e− Eº = +0.41 V
Sn2+(aq) + 2e− Sn(s) Eº = −0.14 V

A. Nonspontaneous; Eº(cell) = +0.27 V
B. Spontaneous; Eº(cell) = −0.27 V
C. Nonspontaneous; Eº(cell) = −0.27 V
D. Spontaneous; Eº(cell) = +0.27 V

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it's C...

Answer 2

@aaronq it is C right?

Answer 3

If the potentials are correct as written (oxidation for Fe and reduction for Sn), it's D

Answer 4

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

no problems
