Question

What is spontaneous oxidation

Answer 1

Answer:

A redox reaction is spontaneous if the standard electrode potential for the redox reaction, Eo(redox reaction), is positive. ... If Eo(redox reaction) is negative (Eo(redox reaction) < 0), the reaction will not proceed in the forward direction (non-spontaneous).

Answer:

redox reaction is spontaneous if the standard electrode potential for the redox reaction, Eo(redox reaction), is positive. ... If Eo(redox reaction) is negative (Eo(redox reaction) < 0), the reaction will not proceed in the forward direction (non-spontaneous).
