No it doesnt

really? umm.. isnt water a nucleophile? it forms dative covalent bonds where the transition metal complexes are formed right? im  not sure  ???

Yes, you are correct. Nucleophiles do, at times, form dative covalent bonds with other reactants.

The question goes like this,
State and explain wether the following reaction can occur.
3Fe2+ ----> Fe + 2Fe3+


Given :
Fe3+ + e- ---> Fe2+     +0.77v
Fe2+ + 2e-  ----> Fe      -0.44v

Can someone please help ? My teacher seemed to flip the signs on some of the E values and I can't seem to figure out why.
Thanks  :)

that's a yes, the reaction would occur.
If you add two E values, it would give you the "positive" values. As you may know, the reaction is feasible if the E value is positive.
And you don't have to multiply each E values or change the sign since E is not affected with coefficient of equation.
I hope it helps.

Thats weird my notebook says the solution is :
E of cell= -0.44-0.77= - 1.21V , rxn is not feasible.
I'm confused  :-\

Oppss, what was I thinking,
ya, the sign should be reverse, making it negative, since the question is from Fe2+ to 3+ but the equation is from Fe3+ to 2+ .
tht's not feasible.
sorry mate, for not reading the question well enough.

hey.. can anyone help me with this question?

what do u observe when a piece of copper metal is added to Cr3+(aq) solution? explain ur answer by using the electrode potentials given below.

Cr3+(aq) + 3e- -------> Cr(s) E cell value = -0.77 V

Cu2+ + 2e- -------> Cu(s) Ecell value = +0.34 V

Thanks =D

I'm not 100% sure but I think that nothing should happen. Chromium has the tendency to lose electrons according to the E cell value and the solution already has Cr3+ ions in it. Copper ions have the tendency to gain electrons as shown by the standard potential and there are no Cu2+ ions in the solid copper metal. Therefore there is no initiative for either element to lose or gain electrons and no reaction should take place.

Again, I'm not completely sure if what I'm saying is right so it would be great if someone could confirm or correct my answer.
