Consider the following standard reduction potentials: Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ Zn(s) Eo = −0.76 V Mg2+(aq) + 2 e−
LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ Mg(s) Eo = −2.37 V Ag+(aq) + e− LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ Ag(s) Eo = +0.80 V Which is the strongest oxidizing agent? Group of answer choices
<u>Answer:</u> The strongest oxidizing agent is silver.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions and reduction reaction is the reaction in which an atom gains electrons.
The substance having highest positive reduction potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction easily.
We are given:
As, silver has the highest positive reduction potential. So, it will be the strongest oxidizing agent.
The answer is 39.99711. We assume you are converting between grams NaOH and mole. You can view more details on each measurement unit: molecular weight of NaOH or mol This compound is also known as Sodium Hydroxide.
