Hi there!
The <span>major accomplishment of the Apollo missions was to successfully land Americans on the Moon and to return them safely to Earth. One major reason for this was to establish a way for us to travel to other celestial bodies safely so we could research them and study how they work or to see if they are inhabitable.

Answer:
Explanation:
The cell reaction properly written is shown below:
Cu|Cu²⁺
|| Ag⁺
| Ag
From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.
Oxidation half:
Cu
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
At the anode, oxidation occurs.
Reduction half:
Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag
At the cathode, reduction occurs.
To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:
Cu
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
Ag⁺
+ e⁻ ⇄ Ag
we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:
2Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag
The net reaction equation:
Cu
+ 2Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻ + 2Ag
We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:
Cu
+ 2Ag⁺
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2Ag
Spontaneous = exothermic. If it is not spontaneous, it is endothermic. ΔG > 0, which means that the reaction uses energy instead of emitting it.
It would be 7 because the acid and base cancel out each other
