Would Li(s) be considered. .a strong reducing agent? 0.000 Co 2eCd(s) -0.402 strong oxidizing agent? KK(s) -2.936 -3.040 Relative oxidizing and reducing "power" Northwest-Southeast Rule Is the reaction spontaneous 1. F2 + Mn2+ MnO4-+ 2p- (not balanced) Does F- have a high reducing power Does F2 have a high oxidizing power Does Cu2+ have a high reducing power Does Cu(s) have a high oxidizing power Does Lit have a high reducing power Does Li have a high oxidizing power Does K have a high reducing power Does K* have a high oxidizing powerExplanation / Answer
a)
Ag+ will always reduce, to form Ag(s) vs. Copper due to activit yseries
b)
H+ will oxidized Cd, since C has a lowe potential
c)
O3 is very oxidant, therefore, it will reduce reaidly
d)
K+ = cant be oxidized, therefore only reduced, if it gets reduced, it is stronger oxidziing agent
e)
MnO4- is ocnsidered a strong oxidizing agnet, due to Oxygen presence
f)
Li wil donate e- readily, so it oxidizes easy, this is being a good reducing agent
