Answer:
strongest oxidizing agent:
weakest oxidizing agent:
strongest reducing agent: Y
weakest reducing agent: X
will oxidize Z
Explanation:
The higher the reduction potential of a species, higher will be the tendency to consume electrons from another species. Hence higher will be the oxidizing power of it's oxidized form and lower will be the reducing power of it's reduced form.
Alternatively, higher reduction potential value suggests that the oxidized form of the species acts as a stronger oxidizing agent and the reduced form of the species acts as a weaker reducing agent.
Order of reduction potential:
So, strongest oxidizing agent:
weakest oxidizing agent:
strongest reducing agent: Y
weakest reducing agent: X
As reduction potential of the half cell is higher than the reduction potential of the half cell therefore will oxidize Z into and itself gets converted into X.
Answer:
b, H2O(s) r H2O(g)
Explanation:
entropy is heat, so increase in heat would mean water gets evaporated or melted, or both in this case. so the only choice above that showed increase in heat is from solid(ice) to gas(water vaper) due to increase in heat in the reaction.
