Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. Enter electrons as e Use smallest possible integer coefficients. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. Use a table of Standard Reduction Potentials to predict if a reaction will occur between Cu metal and F2(g), when the two are brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaic cell If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueous solution If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.

Explanation / Answer

Cu(s) + F2(g)

note that Cu is very stable, but could form ions Cu2+ +2e-

note that

F2(g) is a very oxidizing agent, will form 2F- readily

then

Cu(s) + F2(g) --> CuF2(s)

will be formed
