Chemistry

1.) Use a table of Standard Reduction Potentials to predict if areaction will occur when Mg metal is put into a 1Maqueous H+solution.

If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation forthe reaction. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.

2.) Use a table of Standard Reduction Potentials to predict if areaction will occur between Zn metal andI2(s), when the twoare brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaiccell.

If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation forthe reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueoussolution. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.

1)  

standard reduction potential of Mg is more than H so following reaction occurs:

Mg > Mg +2   + 2 e^ -

2 H+     + 2 e^ -   > H2

    (aq)

overall Mg + 2 H+    > Mg +2

                          (aq)

So Mg dissolves in Acids(H+ ions ) that is it gives two electrons ..where as H+ ions accept electrons

2)    standard electrode potential of Zn is more that I so following reaction occurs

Zn > Zn+2 + 2 e^-

2 I - < 2 e - + I 2

(aq)

-------------------------------

Overall : Zn + I2 > Zn+2    +    2I^ -

                                 (aq)               (aq)
