question 26

Multiple Choice

Consider the following standard reduction potentials. $$\begin{array} { | l | c | } \hline { \text { Reduction Half-Reaction } } & \mathbf { E } ^ { 0 } \text { (volts) } \\\hline \mathrm { Mg } ^ { 2 + } ( a q ) + 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - } \longrightarrow \mathrm { Mg } ( s ) & - 2.38 \\\hline \mathrm { Zn } ^ { 2 + } ( a q ) + 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - } \longrightarrow \mathrm { Zn } ( s ) & - 0.76 \\\hline \mathrm { Cu } ^ { 2 + } ( a q ) + \mathrm { e } ^ { - } \longrightarrow \mathrm { Cu } ^ { + } ( a q ) & 0.16 \\\hline\end{array}$$ The Mg/Mg²⁺ half-reaction can be paired with the other two to produce voltaic cells because ________

• A) Mg is a powerful oxidizing agent.
• B) Mg is a powerful reducing agent.
• C) Mg²⁺ is a powerful reducing agent.
• D) Mg²⁺ is a powerful oxidizing agent.
• E) Zn and Cu+ are readily oxidized.
