### 16. Consider the equation below; which species is the oxidizing agent?

\[ \text{Cr}^{3+} \, (aq) + \text{Fe} \, (s) \rightarrow \text{Cr} \, (s) + \text{Fe}^{2+} \, (aq) \]

- (a) Cr (s)
- (b) Fe (s)
- (c) Cr\(^3\) \(aq\)
- (d) Fe\(^{2+}\) \(aq\)

### 17. Consider the following reactions:

Zn\(^{2+}\) \((aq)\) \(\rightarrow\) Zn \((s)\) \quad \(E^\circ = -0.76 \, V\)

Ag\(^+\) \((aq)\) \(\rightarrow\) Ag \((s)\) \quad \(E^\circ = 0.80 \, V\)

What is the standard potential for the reaction?

- (a) 1.56 V
- (b) -1.56 V
- (c) -0.76 V
- (d) 0.04 V

### 18. Which statement is true for an electrochemical cell built from an oxidation-reduction reaction?

- (a) \(\Delta G^\circ\) is positive, \(E^\circ\) is positive
- (b) \(\Delta G^\circ\) is positive, \(E^\circ\) is negative
- (c) \(\Delta G^\circ\) is negative, \(E^\circ\) is positive
- (d) \(\Delta G^\circ\) is negative, \(E^\circ\) is negative

### Explanation

These questions address key concepts in electrochemistry, such as identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, calculating standard electrode potentials, and understanding the relationship between Gibbs free energy change (\(\Delta G^\circ\)) and cell potential (\(E^\circ\)) in electrochemical cells.
