Consider the following standard reduction potentials:
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- 
Mg(s) ; E° = -2.38 V
V2+(aq) + 2e- 
V(s) ; E° = -1.18 V
Cu2+(aq) + e- 
Cu+(aq) ; E° = 0.15 V
Which of the following reactions will proceed spontaneously from left to right under standard-state conditions?
A) Mg(s) + 2Cu2+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + 2Cu+(aq)
B) V2+(aq) + 2Cu+(aq) → V(s) + 2Cu2+(aq)
C) Mg2+(aq) + 2Cu+(aq) → 2Cu2+(aq) + Mg(s)
D) Mg2+(aq) + V(s) → V2+(aq) + Mg(s)
E) 2Cu2+(aq) + 2Cu+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + Mg(s)
