Consider the Following Standard Reduction Potentials

question 75

Multiple Choice

Consider the following standard reduction potentials:
Ni²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Ni(s) E° = -0.26 V
I₂(s) + 2 e^- → 2 I^-(aq) E° = +0.54 V
Under standard conditions:

• A)Ni²⁺(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I₂(s),and I^-(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than Ni(s)
• B)I₂(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni²⁺(aq),and Ni(s)is a stronger reducing agent than I^-(aq)
• C)Ni(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I^-(aq),and Ni²⁺(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than I₂(s)
• D)I^-(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni(s),and I₂(s)is a stronger reducing agent than Ni²⁺(aq)
