Multiple Choice

Consider the following standard reduction potentials, Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e^- → Al(s) E° = -1.66 V
I₂(s) + 2 e^- → 2 I^-(aq) E° = +0.54 V
Under standard conditions,

• A)Al³⁺(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I₂(s),and I^-(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than Al(s).
• B)I₂(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Al³⁺(aq),and Al(s)is a stronger reducing agent than I^-(aq).
• C)Al(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I^-(aq),and Al³⁺(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than I₂(s).
• D)I^-(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Al(s),and I₂(s)is a stronger reducing agent than Al³⁺(aq).
