Outline 5 Learning Objective

[Lilyana Villa 3L]

On Outline 5, there is a learning objective that states "Predict if a metal will dissolve in a solution." Could someone explain how you would do this?

[Brianne Conway 1D]

I'm pretty sure it's talking about when a metal electrode is oxidized to form metal cations, which will dissolve into solution. So I guess you'd just have to look at the half-reactions and see which metal is being oxidized.

[Brandon McClelland3L]

I think it's just knowing which/if metal dissolves in a cell.

I think its just talking about identifying the anode

[Lillian]

I think it's talking about whether the metal will spontaneously form ions or not.

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

You would basically have to identify the anode.
