Explain whether following reaction is feasible or not :
`2Ag(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq)rarrCu(s)+2Ag^(+)(aq)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given redox reaction : `2Ag(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq)rarrCu(s)+2Ag^(+)(aq)`
The `E^(@)` value for Cu is `+0.34V` while for Ag is `+0.80V`. The Cu is placed above Ag in the series. As a result, Ag cannot lose electrons to `Cu^(2+)` ion present in solution. Thus, the redox reaction is not feasible.
