Q
In a half reaction, how do you know with one is oxidized or reduced?
A
the half-reaction with the higher reduction potential will be reduced and the other oxidized
2
Q
When is a reaction spontaneous?
A
the stronger reducing agent and the stronger oxidizing agent are on the left side of the equation
3
Q
how. to know spontaneous vs non-spontaneous Redox reaction based on reduction potential
A
positive reduction potential - spontaneous
negative reduction potential - non spontaneous
