Hi I sent this question a few days ago but did not get it answered I think it may have been mixed up in the jumble.
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab exercise is to construct a table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents. By completing this exercise, you will see how more extensive tables of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents have been developed.
Procedure:
Using the results from the three tables below, prepare a single table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents
Table 1. Reactions of metals and nonmetals with solution of ions
I2(aq) Cu2+(aq) Ag+(aq) Br2(aq)
I-(aq) X X T T
Cu(s) T X T T
Ag(s) X X X T
Br-(aq) X X X X
Table 2.Reaction of metals and solutions of ions
Ag+(aq) Pb2+(aq) Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq)
Ag(s)X X X X
Pb(s)T X T X
Cu(s)T X X X
Zn(s)T T T X
Table 3. Reactions of nonmetals with solutions of ions
Br-(aq) Cl-(aq) I-(aq)
Br2(aq) X X T
Cl2(aq) T X T
I2(aq) X X X
Legend:
T = evidence redox reaction occured
X = no evidence of redox reaction
*Please note
For table 1 I2(aq), Cu2+(aq), Ag+(aq) and Br2(aq) are supposed to be shifted to the right since they are horizontal.
I-(aq), Cu(s), Ag(s) and Br-(aq) are vertical.
For table 2
Ag+(aq), Pb2+(aq), Cu2+(aq) and Zn2+(aq) are supposed to be shifted to the right since they are horizontal.
Ag(s), Pb(s), Cu(s) and Zn(s) are vertical.
For table 3
Br-(aq), Cl-(aq) and I-(aq) are supposed to be shifted to the right since they are horizontal.
Br2(aq), Cl2(aq) and I2(aq) are vertical.
To construct a single table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents, you can combine the information from the three given tables. Follow these steps:
1. Create a new table with the headers for the oxidizing agents (the solutions of ions) and the reducing agents (metals and nonmetals).
2. Copy the headers from Table 1 for the oxidizing agents: I2(aq), Cu2+(aq), Ag+(aq), Br2(aq), and rearrange them vertically.
3. Copy the headers from Table 1 for the reducing agents: I-(aq), Cu(s), Ag(s), Br-(aq), and rearrange them horizontally.
4. Fill in the relative strengths of oxidizing agents compared to reducing agents by referring to the "Legend" provided:
- If there is evidence of a redox reaction (T), mark the corresponding cell in the table.
- If there is no evidence of a redox reaction (X), leave the cell empty.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for Tables 2 and 3, combining the information from both tables with the existing table.
6. Once you have combined all the information, you will have a complete table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents.
Remember to adjust the position of the headers and values based on the provided note about shifting horizontally and vertically for each table.
