Question
A strip of zinc metal immersed in a solution of a lead (II) salt will be oxidized, while
the lead (II) is reduced to metallic lead (lead (0)). However, a strip of metallic lead
immersed in a solution of a zinc salt results in no reaction. Explain why this is so.
Utilize BOTH the concepts of the associated potentials (Eed and/or Eeu) AND
thermodynamics (i.e. AGrxn) in your explanation.
