Identifying highest reducing/oxidizing power
How can we tell which elements have a higher reducing/oxidizing power? Do we use a periodic table, or do we have to have equations given in order to find out?

Re: Identifying highest reducing/oxidizing power
(If reduction potentials are given--) A higher reduction potential means a higher oxidizing power (as it's more likely to reduce), and a lower reduction potential means a higher reducing power (as its more likely to oxidize).

Re: Identifying highest reducing/oxidizing power
Can anyone answer how we could tell without being given the standard reduction potentials? I had the same question, and I know a high E is good at oxidizing and a lower E is good at reducing. This was a question on test 2 q 5

Re: Identifying highest reducing/oxidizing power
I think a reduction potential chart has to be given.
