Can a nickel spoon be used to stir a solution of silver nitrate. Support your answer with a reason given that :
`(E_(Ni^(2+)//Ni)^(@)=0.25V,E_(Ag^(+)//Ag)^(@)=+0.80V)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, a nickel spoon cannot be used to stir a silver nitrate solution. This is because Ni has lower SRP value than Ag.
`:.` it will displace Ag from `AgNO_(3)` solution,
`:.` the solution will destroyed.
`Ni+2AgNO_(3)toNi(NO_(3))_(2)+2Ag`.
