Question

For the reaction Mg(s) + AgNO3(aq) -> Ag(s) +Mg(NO3)2(aq)

Ag^+(aq) + e- -> Ag (s) E^0 cell= 0.800 V

Mg^2+ (aq) + 2e- -> Mg(s) E^0 cell= -2.356

1)Is the reaction spontaneous and why?

a) no, Mg does not react with Ag

b)no, E^0 is a positive value

c) no, E^0 is a negative value

d) yes, E^0 is a positive value

2)Estimate the value of Keq

a)10^107

b)2.0 x 10^53

c).37 x 10^52

d) 1.1 x 10^27

e) none of these
