Predict whether the following reaction would proceed spontaneously as written at 298 K:Co(s) + Fe2+ (aq) Co2+ (aq) + Fe(s)given that [Co2+] = 0.25 M and [Fe2+] = 0.94 M.
Added by Henok T.
Step 1
From standard reduction tables, we find: Co2+ + 2e- -> Co(s) EĀ° = -0.28 V Fe2+ + 2e- -> Fe(s) EĀ° = -0.44 V The reaction as written is a reduction of Fe2+ and an oxidation of Co. So, we need to reverse the Co reaction to get the oxidation. When we reverse a Show moreā¦

Predict whether the following reactions would occur spontaneously in aqueous solution at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Assume that the initial concentrations of dissolved species are all $1.0 \mathrm{M}$. (a) $\mathrm{Ca}(s)+\mathrm{Cd}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cd}(s)$ (b) $2 \mathrm{Br}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Br}_{2}(l)+\mathrm{Sn}(s)$ (c) $2 \mathrm{Ag}(s)+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Ni}(s)$ (d) $\mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)$
