(a)
Interpretation:
The given reduction half- reactions has to be arranged in decreasing order to occur.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidizing agent:
An oxidizing agent or oxidant is a substance that gains electrons and gets reduced in a
Reducing agent:
A reducing agent or reductant is a substance that loses electrons and gets oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is also called as electron donor.
(b)
Interpretation:
The strongest oxidizing and reducing agent has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidizing agent:
An oxidizing agent or oxidant is a substance that gains electrons and gets reduced in a chemical reaction. An oxidizing agent is also called as electron acceptor.
Reducing agent:
A reducing agent or reductant is a substance that loses electrons and gets oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is also called as electron donor.
(c)
Interpretation:
Among the three cell reactions, the one which delivers the highest voltage has to be given.
