Chapter 18, Problem 18.4QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Four species which can oxidize ${\text{Fe}}^{\text{+2}}\text{to}{\text{Fe}}^{\text{+3}}$ has to be listed.

Concept introduction:

Electrochemical series:

It is a decreasing order of the reduction potentials. The most positive ${\text{E}}^{\text{0}}$ are placed in the top in the electrochemical series; it has greater tendency for reduction and lower tendency of oxidation. And the most negative ${\text{E}}^{\text{0}}$ values of elements are placed in the bottom of the series.
