Worked Solution & Example Answer:Which one of the following, under standard conditions, can not be predicted from the electrochemical series? A - VCE - SSCE Chemistry - Question 20 - 2008 - Paper 1
Step 1
C. Sn$^{2+}$ (aq) reacts faster with Ag$^{+}$ (aq) than with Cu$^{2+}$ (aq).
Answer
This statement cannot be predicted directly from the electrochemical series. While the electrochemical series provides information on the relative strength of oxidizing and reducing agents, the reaction kinetics can depend on various factors such as reaction mechanisms and concentration, which are not addressed by the electrochemical series.
