Which of the following reactions should have the larger emf under standard conditions? Why? CuSO4(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ PbSO4(s)+Cu(s)
Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)

Cu(NO3)2(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ Pb(NO3)2(aq)+Cu(s)

Explanation:

If we look at the both reactions closely, we will quickly discover that the reaction CuSO4(aq)+Pb(s) ⇌ PbSO4(s)+Cu(s) involves PbSO4.

The compound PbSO4 is insoluble in water and sinks to the bottom of the reaction vessel. When this occurs, the concentration of Pb^2+ becomes low. This will bring about a low voltage in the cell.

On the other hand, Pb(NO3)2 is soluble in water hence the cell voltage in this case is higher than the former.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
