Question

Feseability of redox reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

A redox reaction is feasible only if the species which has higher potential is reduced i.e., accepts the electrons and the species which has lower reduction potential is oxidized i.e., loses electrons

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Predicting Feasibility of a Redox Reaction

A redox reaction is feasible only if the species which has higher potential is reduced i.e., accepts the electrons and the species which has lower reduction potential is oxidized i.e., loses electrons.

Explanation:

What is feasibility of a reaction?

For a reaction to be feasible at a given temperature, it must happen spontaneously, which means no extra energy needs to be put in for the reaction to occur. ... A reaction only occurs spontaneously if the Gibbs free energy change is less than zero (ie ΔG is negative).
