Question

Ni2+(aq) + Sn(s) = Ni(s) + Sn2+(aq)

The forward reaction is nonspontaneoud. What does this indicate about the relative strength of the reducing and oxidizing agent on each side of the equation?
A. the agents are of equal strength on both sides of the equation
B. The stronger agents are on the left side of the equation.
C. The stronger agents are on the right side of the equation
D. The relative strengths of the agents cannot be inferred

Answer 1

C. The stronger agents are on the right side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is C because the agents on the products side and cause the reverse reaction to be spontaneous while the agents on the reactants side are weaker and therefore the forward reaction is non-spontaneous

Hope this helps
