The chemical reaction that will occur spontaneously is given by this chemical equation: Mg²⁺ + V²⁺ ----> Mg + V.
What is reduction?
Reduction can be defined as a half-reaction through which the number of electrons (oxidation states) that is associated with the atoms of a chemical element are changed i.e reduced or decreased.
Based on the chemical reactions with the standard electrode reduction potentials, the half cell (Cu²⁺) with the higher reduction potential (+0.15) will be reduced while the half cell (V²⁺) with a lower oxidation potential (-1.18) will be oxidized and as such the chemical equation is given by:
Mg²⁺ + V²⁺ ----> Mg + V.
