Question

Given the standard reduction potentials provided below, determine whether an acidic aqueous
solution of Cr2+ ions liberates H2 from solution (assume standard conditions). Please show your
work.     

Cr³+ (aq) + e
2H(aq) + 2e → H2(g)
Cr²+ (aq)
E° = -0.41 V
E° = 0 V
Transcribed Image Text:Cr³+ (aq) + e 2H(aq) + 2e → H2(g) Cr²+ (aq) E° = -0.41 V E° = 0 V
