question 39

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct net ionic equation for the redox reaction between zinc and the copper(II) ion and the correct direction that is favored? The half-reactions are:

Cu²⁺ is a stronger oxidizing agent than Zn²⁺.

• A)Cu²⁺(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(aq) reverse
• B)Cu²⁺(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(aq) forward
• C)Cu²⁺(aq) + Zn²⁺(s) Cu(s) + Zn(s) reverse
• D)Cu²⁺(aq) + Zn²⁺(s) Cu(s) + Zn(s) forward
• E)Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) Zn⁺(aq) + Cu⁺(aq) forward
