Use the activity series in Table to predict whether each of the following reactions will occur spontaneously:

Table

 

Metal

 

Ion

Most active oxidize easily

Li(s)

Li+(aq) + e

 

K(s)

K+(aq) + e

 

Ca(s)

Ca2+ (aq) + 2e

 

Na(s)

Na+(aq) + e

 

Mg(s)

Mg2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Al(s)

Al3+ (aq) + 3 e

 

Zn(s)

Zn2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Cr(s)

Cr3+ (aq) + 3 e

 

Fe(s)

Fe2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Ni(s)

Ni2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Sn(s)

Sn2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Pb(s)

Pb2+ (aq) + 2e

 

H2(g)

2H+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Cu(s)

Cu2+ (aq) + 2 e

 

Ag(s)

Ag+ (aq) + e

Least active oxidize with difficulty

Au(s)

Au3+ (aq) + 3e

a. 2Au(s) + 6H+(aq) → 2Au3+ (aq) + 3H2(g)


b. Ni2+ (aq) + Fe(s)→ Ni(s) + Fe2+ (aq)


c. 2Ag(s) + Cu2+ (aq) →2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s)
