Chapter 11, Problem 29E

Use the table of standard reduction potentials (Table11.1) to pick a reagent that is capable of each of the followingoxidations (under standard conditions in acidicsolution).
a. oxidizes ${\text{Br}}^{\text{–}}{\text{to Br}}_{\text{2}}$ but does not oxidize ${\text{Cl}}^{\text{–}}{\text{to Cl}}_{\text{2}}$
b. oxidizes Mn to ${\text{Mn}}^{\text{2+}}$ but does not oxidize Ni to ${\text{Ni}}^{\text{2+}}$
