Question

Examine the following half-reactions and select the strongest reducing agent among the species listed.
PbI₂(s) + 2e^-

Examine the following half-reactions and select the strongest reducing agent among the species listed. PbI<sub>2</sub>(s) + 2e<sup>-</sup> Pb(s) + 2I<sup>-</sup>(aq) ;E° = -0.365 V Ca<sup>2+</sup>(aq) + 2e<sup>-</sup> Ca(s) ;E° = -2.868 V Pt<sup>2+</sup>(aq) + 2e<sup>-</sup> Pt(s) ;E° = 1.18 V Br<sub>2</sub>(l) + 2e<sup>-</sup> 2Br<sup>-</sup>(aq) ;E° = 1.066 V A) Pb(s) B) Ca(s) C) Pt(s) D) Br<sup>-</sup>(aq) E) Pt<sup>2+</sup>(aq)

Pb(s) + 2I^-(aq) ;E° = -0.365 V
Ca²⁺(aq) + 2e^-

Ca(s) ;E° = -2.868 V
Pt²⁺(aq) + 2e^-

Pt(s) ;E° = 1.18 V
Br₂(l) + 2e^-

2Br^-(aq) ;E° = 1.066 V
