predicting feasibility Flashcards
1
Q
what does feasibility mean?
A
predicting if a stated reaction will proceed under standard conditions
2
Q
how is feasibility predicted using redox electrode equations?
A
use E nought values to predict oxidation / reduction
flip oxidation equation
combine
if the reactants align with question, it is feasible
3
Q
how can feasibility be confirmed?
A
pos - neg value = pos
4
Q
what are two reasons for lack of feasibility
A
non standard conditions
kinetics not favourable
