According to the table, which reaction is correct? Zn (s) + Cu²+ (aq) → Zn²+ (aq) + Cu (s) because copper (Cu) is a stronger oxidizing agent than zinc (Zn) Fe (s) + Mg²+ (aq) → Fe+ (aq) + Mg (s) because magnesium (Mg) is a stronger oxidizing agent than iron (Fe) Ag (s) + Lit (aq) → Ag* (aq) + Li (s) because lithium (Li) is a stronger oxidizing agent than silver (Ag) Pb (s) + 2Li (aq) → 2Li (s) + Pb?+ (aq) because lithium (Li) is a stronger oxidizing agent than lead (Pb)

According to the table, which reaction is correct?
Zn (s) + Cu?+ (aq) → Zn?+ (aq) + Cu (s)
because copper (Cu) is a stronger oxidizing agent than zinc (Zn)
Fe (s) + Mg+ (aq)
- Fe2+
(aq) + Mg (s)
because magnesium (Mg) is a stronger oxidizing agent than iron (Fe)
Ag (s) + Li* (aq)
→ Ag* (aq) + Li (s)
because lithium (Li) is a stronger oxidizing agent than silver (Ag)
Pb (s) + 2Lit (aq) → 2Li (s) + Pb3+ (ag)
because lithium (Li) is a stronger oxidizing agent than lead (Pb)
