onsider the following half-reactions:
Half-reaction | E° (V) |
Cl2(g) + 2e- 2Cl-(aq) | 1.360V |
Sn2+(aq) + 2e- Sn(s) | -0.140V |
Al3+(aq) + 3e- Al(s) | -1.660V |
(1) The weakest oxidizing agent is: | enter formula |
(2) The strongest reducing agent is: |
(3) The strongest oxidizing agent is: |
(4) The weakest reducing agent is: |
(5) Will Cl-(aq) reduce Al3+(aq) to Al(s)?
yesno
(6) Which species can be reduced
by Sn(s)? If none, leave box blank. |
Solution:The given folloning balf reactions areHalf-reection{:[Cl_(2)(g)+2e^(-)rarr2C" (ag) ",1.360V],[Sn^(2+)(ag)+2e^(-)rarrSn(s),-0.140V],[Al^(3+)(ag)+3e^(-)rarrAl_(1)(s),-1.660V]:}The stronger reducing agent is that which has more negative reduction potentiat (E^(@))The weakest when it has a more pobitive reduction potential.Again the more positive the reduction potential, the stronger is the oxidising agent itself. and also the geveafer th ...
