Predict whether F2 and Na will react with one another. Give reason(E0(F2/F-)=+2.87V and E0(Na+/Na)=-2.71V)
Na → Na+ + e-
F- + 2e- → F2
Eocell = Eored - Eooxid
Eocell = 2.87 V + 2.71 V = 5.58 V
Since the emf of the cell is positive, the reaction is spontaneous and these two will react with each other.
