Ag+ (aq) and Cu(s)
✓

Answer

$\text{Ag}^{+}_\text{(aq)}+\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \text{Ag}_\text{(s)}\Big]\times2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.80\ \text{V}\\\text{Cu}_\text{(s)}\ \ \ \ \ \ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \text{Cu}^{2+}_\text{(aq)}+2\text{e}^-\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=-0.34\ \text{V}\\\overline{2\text{Ag}^{+}_\text{(aq)}+\text{Cu}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Ag}_\text{(s)}+\text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)} \ \ \ \ \ \ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{E}^\circ=+0.23\ \text{V}}$
Since E° for the overall reaction is positive, the reaction between Ag+ (aq) and Cu(s) is feasible.
