Question

Consider the following half-reactions:

Half-reaction E° (V)
F2(g) + 2e-  2F-(aq) 2.870V
Pb2+(aq) + 2e-  Pb(s) -0.126V
Mn2+(aq) + 2e-  Mn(s) -1.180V



(1) The weakest oxidizing agent is:       enter formula

 

(2) The strongest reducing agent is:  

 

(3) The strongest oxidizing agent is:  

 

(4) The weakest reducing agent is:    



 (5) Will F-(aq) reduce Mn2+(aq) to Mn(s)

 




(6) Which species can be reduced by Pb(s)?
        If none, leave box blank.
