If somebody would please please please pretty please explain this to me, I would be so eternally grateful...
What I understand:
Zn(s) + HCl --> H2(g), which means that 1) H+ gets reduced and 2) the reaction is spontaneous. The question asks if a strip of Al(s) is placed in a beaker, will H2(g) evolve?
Then, we look at the table. We see that for Al(s) + Zn2+(aq), there is a solid formed. Which means that Zn2+ is getting reduced (to form the solid). This must also mean that Zn2+ has a...
