6. a) Write out a balanced chemical equation that represents copper metal Cu° in the presence of iron ions Fe reacting to form copper ions Cu* in the presence of iron metal Fe°. b) identify which species is oxidized and which species is reduced in the forwards direction. c) Use the activity series (on the back of your laminated periodic table) to predict whether this redox reaction would occur as written. d) Would a copper vessel be a safe vessel to store an aqueous solution of Fe* ions? Why or why not? a) b) c) d)
