predicting feasibility

Question 1

what does feasibility mean?

Answer 1

predicting if a stated reaction will proceed under standard conditions

Question 2

how is feasibility predicted using redox electrode equations?

Answer 2

• use E nought values to predict oxidation / reduction
• flip oxidation equation
• combine
• if the reactants align with question, it is feasible

Question 3

how can feasibility be confirmed?

Answer 3

pos - neg value = pos

Question 4

what are two reasons for lack of feasibility

Answer 4

• non standard conditions
• kinetics not favourable
