Please explain how you found your answers. Thank you!
Use the list of reduction potentials above for this section. . (a) List (Cr3 + , Co2 + , MnO4-, Co3 + , Fe2 + ) from the strongest to weakest oxidizing agent. (b) Which of the following species (circle all that apply)is an effective reducing agent for Co2 + ? Br2 F2 a1 F- Ni2 + Fe2- al3 + Br- Cu2 + Cu Mn04- Cr2 + Which species (list all if more than one applies) in the list above can be oxidized by Br2 but NOT by Co2 + (List them here, don't circle on the chart above)Explanation / Answer
oxidizing agent is a substance which accepts electron and itself gets reduced.
In the give list the strongest to weakest oxidizing agents are Co 3+, MnO4- , Co 2+, Cr +3, Fe+2
This is because greater the reduction potential better is the oxidizig agent.
Cr +2, Al is a good reducinng agent for Co+2
Cu, Fi +2, Ni +2
