Changes in reaction conditions can have a tremendous effect on the course of a redox reaction. For example, under standard conditions, the reaction of Co(s) with Ni 2+ (aq) to form Ni(s) and Co 2+ (aq) occurs spontaneously, but if we reduce the concentration of Ni 2+ by a factor of 100, so that [Ni 2+] is 0.01 M, then the reverse …
