Question

Rank the species below by their ability to act as an oxidising agent (the strongest oxidising agent should be first);

Pb2+ , Br2, Ca2+, Zn2+

Br2 , Zn2+ , Pb2+ , Ca2+

Br2 , Ca2+ Pb2+ , Zn2+

Pb2+ , Br2 , Ca2+ , Zn2+

Ca2+, Zn2+ , Pb2+ , Br2

Br2 , Pb2+ , Zn2+ , Ca2

Rank the species below by their ability to act as an oxidising agent (the strongest oxidising agent should be first);

Pb2+ , Br2 , Ca2+ , Zn2+

Br2 , Zn2+ , Pb2+ , Ca2+

Br2 , Ca2+ Pb2+ , Zn2+

Pb2+ , Br2 , Ca2+ , Zn2+

Ca2+, Zn2+ , Pb2+ , Br2

Br2 , Pb2+ , Zn2+ , Ca2

Rank the species below by their ability to act as an oxidising agent (the strongest oxidising agent should be first);

Pb2+ , Br2, Ca2+, Zn2+

Explanation / Answer

Option e is correct. As we go down the reactivity series the oxidizing power increases and bromine comes down than lead whereas zinc comes above lead and calcium above zinc therefore order e is correct
