Question

1) Select all of the following that are stronger oxidizing agents than Ni2+

Sn, Fe3+, Ag1+, Br2, Cr3+, Na1+

2) For this question you will need to consult the Standard Reduction Potential Resource in the textbook.
Select all of the following that are weaker oxidizing agents than I2.

Cl2, Cr3+, K1+, MnO41-, Ag1+, Sn2+

3)For this question you will need to consult the Standard Reduction Potential Resource in the textbook.
Select all of the following that are weaker reducing agents than Cr.

Mn2+, Br1-, Cu, H2, Zn, Ni

Explanation / Answer

1. Ni 2+ ---------> Ni Ered = -0.25V

Fe 3+ -----> Fe 2+ Ered = +0.77V

Cr 3+ ------> Cr 2+   Ered = -0.74V

Na+ + e- -------> Na   Ered = -2.71 V

Ag+ + e- -------> Ag Ered = 0.80 V

Br2 + 2e- -------> 2Br Ered = 1.06 V

Sn ----------> Sn2+ + 2e-   Ered = 0.14V

Oxidizing Agents (may wish to grab electrons from something else and so oxidize the other thing).

Higher up = stronger oxidizing agent

The answer is : Fe3+, Ag+, Br2, Sn

2. Reducing Agents (able to give electrons to something else and so reduce the other thing)

Cl2 (1.36 V),

Cr3+ (-0.74 V)

K1+ (-2.925V)

MnO41- (0.59V),

Ag1+ (0.80V)

Sn2+ (-0.14V)

I2 = 0.54V

Lower down = stronger reducing agent, weaker oxidizing agent

The answer is: Sn2+, K+, Cr3+

3. Mn2+ (-1.52V)

Br1- (-1.06V)

Cu (-0.34V)

H2= 0

Zn = 0.76V

Ni = 0.28V

Cr = 0.74

The answer is: Zn
