Question
Please do #3 In the picture. I am confused if the answer is d since potassium has the lowest value of standard reduction potential and therefore it will be the strongest reducing agent. Or if it is a since K+ can’t be oxidized anymore (or can it?) and I think the reduction agent needs not be oxidized. And then so is the answer A or D? Thanks for you help.
