Test 2

Okay, so for Test 2, it had us put the redox molecules from increasing order, how would we do that?

[Kenan Kherallah 2C]

You would look at the reducing power which is another way of saying how likely the substance is to be oxidized. This means the more negative the E potential the better.

[Henry_Phan_4L]

So the one with better oxidizing power is the most positive one?

[Jonathan Zhao 4H]

Yes, correct. The more positive the E value, the stronger the oxidizing power.

On test 2 for another part of the same question it asked which 2 species would give the largest E cell, how do you determine this?

[Tatum Keichline 2B]

More negative E for reducing and more positive E for oxidizing I believe

[sonalivij]

The half reaction with the most negative standard potential is the strongest reducing agent, and the half reaction with the most positive standard potential is the strongest oxidizing agent

[Selina Bellin 2B]

more positive e value corresponds to a higher oxidizing power
