Yep...I agree with your answers and with your explanations. I also agree that it is a little strange to classify Fe2+ as a solid.

asked 05/10/20Hi! I have solved some questions and I would appreciate it if someone could just check if I solved correctly .Given the current situation the only help I can get to see if my answers are correct is here, so thank you very much!
1.Is the follwing reaction spontaneous?
Fe2+ (s) + H2 --> Fe (s) + 2H+
Answer: First I would like to comment that I think my textbook was a little weird putting (s) after the Fe2+, but anyway that does not affect my solution.
Fe2+ + 2e- --> Fe(s) E0= -0.44
H2 ---> 2H+ + 2e- E0=0
-0.44-0= -0.44. Negative value means NOT spontaneous reaction
2.Can chlorine oxidize bromide ions to free bromine?
The reaction I will investigate is :
Cl2 (g) + 2 Br- -->2 Cl- + Br2 (l)
Cl2 (g) + 2 e- --> 2 Cl- E0= 1.36
2 Br- --> Br2 (l) + 2 e- E0 1.07
1.36 - 1.07= 0.29
Positive value, answer is yes chlorine oxidize can oxidize bromide ions to free bromine.
H+
