Question

Cu2+(aq) + 2 e- → Cu(s) E° = 0.34 V
Cr3+(aq) + e- → Cr2+(aq) E° = -0.41 V

According to the half-reactions represented above, which of the following occurs in aqueous solutions under standard conditions?

A.

Cu2+(aq) + Cr3+(aq) → Cu(s) + Cr2+(aq)

B.

Cu2+(aq) + 2 Cr2+(aq) → Cu(s) + 2 Cr3+(aq)

✓ Correct
C.

Cu(s) + 2 Cr3+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2 Cr2+(aq)

D.

Cu(s) + Cr3+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Cr2+(aq)

E.

2 Cu2+(aq) + Cr3+(aq) → 2 Cu(s) + Cr2+(aq)
