Consider the systems having liquid-solid interface, (A) copper wire in silver nitrate solution and (B) silver wire in copper sulphate solution. Predict which interface will show spontaneous reaction, if \[ E_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{~V} \text { and } E_{\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag}}^{\circ}=0.80 \mathrm{~V} \text { ? } \]

  1. A Copper-silver nitrate interface
  2. B Silver-copper sulphate interface
  3. C There will be no spontaneous reaction
  4. D Both interfaces will give spontaneous reaction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Copper-silver nitrate interface

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Spontaneous reaction can be determined on the basis of Gibbs free energy. \[ \Delta G^{\circ}=-n F E^{\circ} \]…
