Hydrogen cannot oxidize gold or copper because it is lower on the emf series. Also, copper and gold cannot react because there are no Au ions in the solution (only H+ and Cl-) right? So then...
Homework Statement
From the perspective of corrosion...Gold and Copper II are joined together and immersed in a 1Molar HCl solution. What possible half-cell reactions and full cell reactions can occur? Which one is most likely to proceed?Homework Equations
