The activity series in Table 9.6 shows that reaction (a) is spontaneous whereas reaction (b) is nonspontaneous at 25°C:

(a) Fe(s) + 2H+(aq)Fe2+(aq)+H2(g)


(b) Cu(s) + 2H+(aq)→Cu2+(aq)+H2(g)

Use the data in Appendix 2 to calculate the equilibrium constant for these reactions and hence confirm that the activity series is correct.
