Electrochemical series diagram
In figure 6M.5, it uses the terms "can reduce H+" for strongly reducing and "cannot reduce H+" for strongly oxidizing. What does it mean to reduce H+?

Re: Electrochemical series diagram
This table is used when trying to figure out which part of a reaction is doing the oxidizing or reducing. Whichever half reaction can reduce H+ is the half reaction that you should choose as the oxidation half of the reaction.
