Use the Activity Series (Silberberg) to predict whether each ofthe following reactions will occur spontaneously (yes or no):
a) Mn2+ (aq) + Co (s) --> Mn (s) + Co2+(aq)
b) 3 Zn (s) + 2 Cr3+ (aq) --> 3 Zn2+ (aq)+ 2 Cr (s)
c) Ba2+ (aq) +2 Li (s) --> Ba (s) + 2 Li+(aq)
d) Hg2+ (aq) + Cd (s) --> Hg (l) + Cd2+(aq)
e) Ca (s) + 2 K+ (aq) --> Ca2+ (aq) + 2 K(s)
f) Ni2+ (aq) + Mg (s) --> Ni (s) + Mg2+(aq)
For each of these reactions, calculate the overall cell voltage,(using Append D Silberberg) and compare this quantitativeprediction with the qualitative Activity Series predictions(spontaneous or not) listed above.
