Given that Cu + 2HC Cu2+ + 2CI- + H2(g) has an overall reduction potential of –0.34 V, what is a valid prediction about how this reaction works?
a.The reaction is not spontaneous and will require energy to proceed.
b.The reverse reaction would require energy input in order to occur.
cThe half reactions would both occur spontaneously.
d.The reaction is not spontaneous, and it is impossible to make it occur.
