Arrange the following five reduction half-cell reactions in order listing the largest positive reduction potential first and give the best oxidizing and reducing agents....
Observations:
i) A reacts spontaneously with 1 mol/L BNO3, 1 mol/L D(NO3) and dilute sulfuric acid. A does not react 1 mol/L C (NO3)
ii) B does not react spontaneously with any of the 1mol/L solutions above or with dilute sulfuric acid.
iii) C reacts spontaneously with dilute sulfuric acid and with 1 mol/L solutions of all other metallic salts.
iv) D reacts spontaneously with 1mol/L B(NO3). It does not react with dilute sulfuric acid.
a) Use the observations and arrange the following five reduction half-cell reactions in order…the one with the largest positive reduction potential first ,and tell which is the best oxidizing and reducing agent..
A+2 +2e- -A (s)
B+ + e- B(s)
C2+ + 2e- C(s)
D2+ + 2e- D(s)
2H+ + 2e- H2 (g)
