Is it safe to stir 1M `AgNO_(3`) solution with copper spoon? Given:`E^(@)Ag^(+)//ag=0.80V,E^(@)Cu^(2+)//Cu^(2+)//Cu=0.34V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given values of reduction potentials show that Cu is more reactive than `Ag`. Hence, Cu displaces Ag from `AgNO_(3)` solution, i.e., Cu reacts with `AgNO_(3)` solution. Hence, it is not safe to stir `AgNO_(3)` solution with copper spoon.
