question 197

Multiple Choice

Consider the following standard reduction potentials, Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Zn(s) E° = -0.76 V
I₂(s) + 2 e^- → 2 I^-(aq) E° = +0.54 V
Under standard conditions,

• A)Zn²⁺(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I₂(s)and I^-(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than Zn(s).
• B)I₂(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Zn²⁺(aq)and Zn(s)is a stronger reducing agent than I^-(aq).
• C)Zn(s)is a stronger oxidizing agent than I^-(aq)and Zn²⁺(aq)is a stronger reducing agent than I₂(s).
• D)I^-(aq)is a stronger oxidizing agent than Zn(s)and I₂(s)is a stronger reducing agent than Zn²⁺(aq).
