(a) Which is the weakest oxidizing agent?(b) Which is the strongest oxidizing agent?(c) Which is the strongest reducing agent?(d) Which is the weakest reducing agent?(e) Will Sn(s) reduce Ag+(aq) to Ag(s)?
Rank these species by their ability to act as an oxidizing agent. From the best oxidizing agent to the poorest oxidizing agent of the elements: Mg 2+, Sn 2+, Cr 2+ and Ag +
a) Balance the following reaction and state which species is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing reagent.
Cl2(g) + Br-(aq) â Br2(l) + Cl-(aq)
b) Predict the outcome of the following reaction and state why it is so:
Na(s) + Ca2+(aq) â
