Consider a battery with the overall reaction: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq).
Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu(s) Eo(V) = +0.34
Ag+ + e- → Ag(s) Eo(V) = +0.7996
Would you design a battery using this reaction: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)?
Group of answer choices:
Yes, this is a possible design. The voltage is 0.46 V (positive) which means the reaction is spontaneous.
Yes, this is a possible design. The voltage is -0.46 V (negative) which means the reaction is spontaneous.
