Arrange these species by their ability to act as an oxidizin
Arrange these species by their ability to act as an oxidizing agent. Au3+, Sn+2,Cr+2,Ca+2
Solution
Ca^2+ (aq) + 2e^- --------------> Ca(s) E0 = -2.76v
Cr^2+ (aq) + 2e^- --------------> Cr(s) E0 = -0.91v
Sn^2+ (aq) + 2e^- ----------------> Sn(s) E0 = -0.14v
Au^3+ (aq) + 3e^- ------------> Au(s) E0 = 1.5v
The reduction potential value more ion is strong oxidizing agent.
The ability to increasing oxidizing agent.
Au^3+ > Sn^2+ > Cr^2+ >ca^2+
