The standard reduction potentials for Zn ²⁺ / Zn , Ni ²⁺ / Ni , and Fe ²⁺ / Fe are -0.76,-0.23 and -0.44 ~V respectively. The reaction X + Y ²⁺ X ²⁺+ Y will be spontaneous when:
Options
- AX=N i, Y=F e
- BX=N i, Y=Z n
- CX=F e, Y=Z n
- DX=Z n, Y=N i
Correct answer
D. X=Z n, Y=N i
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Zn + Fe ⁺² Zn ⁺²+ Fe & Fe + Ni ⁺² Fe ²⁺+ Ni & Zn + Ni ²⁺ Zn ⁺²+ Ni aligned All these are spontaneous
