A student listed the following possible reactants in redox reactions: iron and copper surface solution, silver and calcium nitrate solution, copper and lead nitrate solution, magnesium and zinc nitrate solution which combination will spontaneously react in a redox reaction
1 answer
The combination that will spontaneously react in a redox reaction is iron and copper surface solution. Iron has a higher tendency to undergo oxidation compared to copper, so in this reaction, iron will oxidize and copper will reduce, resulting in a redox reaction.
