Al3+(aq) + 3e-  Al(s) -1.660V



(1) The weakest oxidizing agent is:       enter formula

 

(2) The strongest reducing agent is:  

 

(3) The strongest oxidizing agent is:  

 

(4) The weakest reducing agent is:    



 (5) Will Al(s) reduce Br2(l) to Br-(aq)? (yes/no)


(6) Which species can be reduced by Ni(s)?
        If none, leave box blank.
