According to standard reduction potential :
More the standard reduction potential stronger the oxidizing agent and weaker reducing agent.
Lower the standard reduction potential stronger the reducing agent and weaker oxidizing agent.
a) A lead wire is placed in a solution containing Cu2+ :
Pb ----> Pb+2 + 2e- Eo = +0.13 V
Cu+2 +2e- ----> Cu E0 = +0.34 V
As Cu+2 have more standard reduction potential so it would be strong oxidizing agent and undergo reduction (gain of electrons) i.e Cu+2 +2e- ----> Cu
As Pb have less standard reduction potential so it would be strong reducing agent and undergo oxidation (loss of electrons) Pb ----> Pb+2 + 2e-
b) Crystals of I2 are added to a solution of NaCl
I2 + 2e- ----> 2I- Eo = 0.54 V
Cl2 + 2e- ----> 2Cl- Eo = 1.36 V
2Cl- ----> Cl2 + 2e- Eo = -1.36 V
From we can see reducing agent strength for I- is more than Cl- and oxidising agent strength for Cl2 is more than I2 . So iodine cannot replace chloride ions
I2 + Cl- ----> No reaction
Hence the products of these spontaneous reaction will not react.
c) A silver wire is placed in a solution containing Cu2+ :
Ag+ + e- ----> Ag E0 = 0.80 V
Ag ---> Ag+ + e- Eo = -0.80 V
Cu+2 + 2e- ----> Cu Eo = 0.34 V
From we can see reducing agent strength for Cu is more than Ag and oxidising agent strength for Ag+ is more than Cu+2 . So silver cannot replace cupric ions
Cu+2 + Ag ---> No reaction
Hence the products of these spontaneous reaction will not react.

1. How do I read the half reaction table? 2. If im asked for the best reducing agent from Cu+, Ag+, F2, and Fe3+, where do I look first in the table? before the arrow or after the arrow? 3. Sometimes a value that has originally a positive (V) from the table it will have the negative sign in a homework problem, and viceversa, so the question is, how do I use the positive and negative signs in respect to...
Find the best reducing agent from Cu+, Ag+ F2 and Fe3+ #1. In the reduction table i can see several repeated values of Fe3+ one is equal to 0.77v and the second one is equal to -0.036v so, which one do I choose? Please explain. #2.If I'm asked to find the best oxidation agent, from the values already provided (Cu+, Ag+ F2 and Fe3+) which one would it be? and how would I decide from repeated values, like in #1,...
