1. Using a table of standard reduction potentials, standardconditions are assumed.
(a) Arrange the following chemical species: Zn(s),Cl-(aq), Cu(s), K(s), and H2(g) in order oftheir ease of oxidation, from easiest to oxidize to hardest tooxidize.
(b) Arrange the following chemical species: H+(aq),I2(s), Na+(aq), Ag+(aq), andH2O(l) in order of their ease of reduction, from easiestto reduce to hardest to reduce.
2. Which of the following reactions is/are product favored?
Zn(s) + I2(s) ? Zn+2 (aq) +2I-(aq)
2Cl-(aq) + I2(s) ? Cl2(g) +2I-(aq)
2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) ? 2Na(s) +Cl2(g)
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) ? 2K+(aq) +H2(g) + 2OH-(aq)
