Use the table of standard reduction potentials (Table 17-1) to pick a reagent that is capable of each of the following oxidations (under standard conditions in acidic solution). a. oxidize Br − to Br 2 but not oxidize Cl − to Cl 2 b. oxidize Mn to Mn 2+ but not oxidize Ni to Ni 2+

Q: Expert Answer

(a) Interpretation Introduction Interpretation: The table for reduction potential of various species is given. The reagent that is capable of the given oxidations is to be picked. Concept introduction: The species with higher reduction potential undergoes reduction thus, oxidizing the other species while the species with lower reduction potential undergoes oxidation and thus, reduces the other species. To determine: The species that are capable of the given oxidation. Explanation The species that can oxidize Br − to Br 2 but cannot oxidize Cl − to Cl 2 are IO 3 − , MnO 2 , O 2 , Cr 2 O 7 2 − . The reduction potential values for the given species are as follows, Br 2 + 2 e − → Br − E ° = 1.09 V Cl 2 + 2 e − → Cl − E ° = 1 (b) Interpretation Introduction Interpretation: The table for reduction potential of various species is given. The reagent that is capable of the given oxidations is to be picked. Concept introduction: The species with higher reduction potential undergoes reduction thus, oxidizing the other species while the species with lower reduction potential undergoes oxidation and thus, reduces the other species.
