To determine whether we can use a copper vessel to store a 1 M AgNO3 solution, we need to analyze the electrochemical potentials of the two half-reactions involved: the reduction of silver ions (Ag⁺) and the reduction of copper ions (Cu²⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Standard Reduction Potentials:** - The standard reduction potential for the reaction involving silver ions is given as: \[ E^\circ_{Ag^+/Ag} = +0.80 \, \text{V} ...
