Question

Consider the following half-reactions:

Half-reaction E° (V)
I2(s) + 2e-  2I-(aq) 0.535V
Ni2+(aq) + 2e-  Ni(s) -0.250V
Mg2+(aq) + 2e-  Mg(s) -2.370V



(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 I2(s) oxidize Mg(s) to Mg2+(aq)


(6) Which species can be reduced by Ni(s)?
        If none, leave box blank.
 
Consider the following half-reactions:
Half-reaction

0.535V
Ni²*(aq) + 2e"
Ni(s)
|-0.250V
Mg*(aq) + 2e" -
Mg(s) -2.370V
(1) The strongest oxidizing agent is:
