Question

Consider the following half-reactions:

Half-reaction E° (V)
Ag+(aq) + e-  Ag(s) 0.799V
Pb2+(aq) + 2e-  Pb(s) -0.126V
Zn2+(aq) + 2e-  Zn(s) -0.763V



(1) The strongest oxidizing agent is:     enter formula

 

(2) The weakest oxidizing agent is:    

 

(3) The weakest reducing agent is:    

 

(4) The strongest reducing agent is:  



 (5) Will Ag+(aq) oxidize Zn(s) to Zn2+(aq)?  (yes/no)


(6) Which species can be reduced by Pb(s)?
        If none, leave box blank.
