a)
b)
The equations below are for reactants and their anticipated products. For each one indicate whether the reaction will
proceed spontaneously to the right, to the left, or not at all. Give a reason for your choice.
Be²+ (aq) + Mg (s) → Be (s) + Mg¹²(aq)
Circle one: spontaneous to the right, spontaneous to the left or non-spontaneous in both directions
Reason:
Zn+² (aq) + Cu (s) ↔ Zn (s) + Cu²+ (aq)
Circle one: spontaneous to the right, spontaneous to the left or non-spontaneous in both directions
Reason:
