Question

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,

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard reduction potential for Al³⁺(aq)+ 3 e^- → Al(s) is negative (-1.66 V), which means that Al(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Al³⁺(aq). Similarly, the standard reduction potential for I₂(s)+ 2 e^- → 2 I^-(aq) is positive (+0.54 V), which means that I₂(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I^-(aq). Thus, option B is the correct answer.
