Answer 1

The question is incomplete, the complete question is

Which is NOT correct for when the silver and vanadium half-cells are connected via a salt bridge and a potentiometer? Ag^+ + 1 e^- rightarrow Ag Edegree = 0.7993 V V^2+ + 2e^- right arrow V E degree =-1.125 V Ag+ is reduced V is oxidized 1.924 V V2^+ is reduced Ag is oxidized I and II III, IV, and V I, II, and III III only IV and V

Answer:

only IV and V

Explanation:

If we look at the values of reduction potential for the two species, we will discover that vanadium has a negative reduction potential indicating its tendency towards oxidation.

On the other hand, solve has a positive reduction potential indicating a tendency towards reduction.

This implies that vanadium must be oxidized and silver reduced and not the not her way ground? Hence the answer above.
