Determine whether the following reaction would be spontaneous or not. Fully explain the reason for your answers using the Redox table. i.) When Au3+ is added to a container with silver metals would there be a reaction? Clearly state the strong oxidizing and reducing agents and their half equations. What is the overall reaction equation using the half equations? What is the Standard Reduction Potential?
