Question

pls explain in great detail why

Consider the following standard reduction potentials Reduction Half-Reaction A1+ (aq) + 3e A1(s) Fe2+ (aq) + 2e-Fe(s) Sn2+ (aq) + 2e - Sn(s) E (volts) -1.66 0.44 0.14 The AIAP half-reaction can be paired with the other two to produce voltaic cells because Als* is a more powerful reducing agent OOO Al is a more powerful oxidizing agent o Fe and Sn are readily oxidized Al is a more powerful reducing agent AB+ is a more powerful oxidizing agent

Answer 1

0 Oxide sing agent One dising agent: The species that oni dises other realtant and itself undesgoes reduction reaction called onedising agent. The species that have higher reduction potential undergoes reduction reaction and it self acts as One dising agent. Reducing agent; The species that reduces other reachant and itself undergoes onidation reaction called beducing agent The Speies that have lome reduction potential (& ander goes asidation reaction and itself acts as redaning agent. consider a cell reaction, Oxidation half cell 1 met cas + Zn(s) Mcs + Znan reduction half cen Euthu= 034 6224/2n= -0.76 7 onidising agent ut lag (higher reduction Redwing agent: Brs) (lower reduction potential) potential

Reduction half-reactions F'(volls) A13+ (aq) +3e + AICs) Ee2+ (antre fecs) Sm2+ ( a + 2 Snce) -0.14 from the given reduction data 2 can say that, *A13t|AI have lowest standard reduction potential. so It can undergan oxidation half an reaction.
