Question
Using the standard electrode potentials given in Table 3.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible:
Ag(s) and Fe3+ (aq)
✓

Answer

$\ \ \ \text{Ag}_\text{(s)}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \text{Ag}^{+}_\text{(aq)}+\text{e}^- \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.80\ \text{V}\\\text{Fe}^{3+}_\text{(aq)}+\text{e}^-\ \ \ \ \ \ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \text{Fe}^{2+}_{\text{(aq)}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.77\ \text{V}\\\overline{\text{Ag}_\text{(s)}+\text{Fe}^{3+}_\text{(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{Ag}^{+}_\text{(aq)}+\text{Fe}^{2+}_\text{(aq)} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=-0.03\ \text{V}}$
Since E° E for the overall reaction is negative, the reaction between Ag(s) and Fe3+ (aq) is not feasible.
