Can a nicked spon be used to stir a solution of copper sulphate ? Support your answer with reaon.
(Given : `E_(Ni^(2+)//Ni)^(@)=-0.25" V", E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(@)=0.34" V"`)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, its is not possible. Nickel is a stronger reducing agent than copper ? It will reduce `Cu^(2+)` ions of `CuSO_(4)` to copper. The nickel spoon will be gradually consumed in the reaction.
