(a)
Interpretation:
The strongest reducing agent among the ions in central column of the given table needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizing agents oxidize any reaction, but they get reduced during this process.
The reducing agents reduce the reaction but they themselves get oxidized.
In the given table of standard reduction potential, the nature of cations can be predicted to oxidizing or reducing on behalf of following observation.
For any cation:
The more positive the reduction potential, easier will be the self reduction and hence the oxidizing agent will be stronger.
The more negative (or least positive) the reduction potential, easier will be self oxidation as the oxidation potential value will be more positive, and hence the reducing agent will be stronger.

For any cation:
The more positive the reduction potential, easier will be the self reduction and hence the oxidizing agent will be stronger.
The more negative (or least positive) the reduction potential, easier will be self-oxidation as the oxidation potential value will be more positive, and hence the reducing agent will be stronger.

Using radii from Resource section 1 (p.901) and Born-Lande equation, calculate the lattice energy for PbS, which crystallizes in the NaCl structure. Then, use the Born-Haber cycle to obtain the value of lattice energy for PbS. You will need the following data following data: AH Pb(g) = 196 kJ/mol; AHƒ PbS = −98 kJ/mol; electron affinities for S(g)→S¯(g) is -201 kJ/mol; S¯(g) (g) is 640kJ/mol. Ionization energies for Pb are listed in Resource section 2, p.903. Remember that enthalpies of formation are calculated beginning with the elements in their standard states (S8 for sulfur). The formation of S2, AHF: S2 (g) = 535 kJ/mol. Compare the two values, and explain the difference. (8 points)arrow_forward
