Question

Consider the following half-reactions:

Half-reaction E° (V)
F2(g) + 2e-  2F-(aq) 2.870V
Co2+(aq) + 2e-  Co(s) -0.280V
Fe2+(aq) + 2e-  Fe(s) -0.440V



(1) The weakest oxidizing agent is:       enter formula

 

(2) The strongest reducing agent is:  

 

(3) The strongest oxidizing agent is:  

 

(4) The weakest reducing agent is:    



 (5) Will Fe(s) reduce F2(g) to F-(aq)? _____yesno


(6) Which species can be oxidized by Co2+(aq)?
        If none, leave box blank.
