A) Using the half-reaction data to determine if ascorbic acid can reduce arsenic acid to arsenous acid. DA (aq)+2 H+(aq) + 2 e- <------> AA (aq)+H2O (l) Eo= 0.390 V H3AsO4 (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- <---------> H2AsO3 (aq) + H2O(l) Eo= 0.575 V The standard reduction potential of Arsenic acid is more than ascorbic acid.

So, ascorbic acid cannot reduce arsenous acid to arsine gas.
