Question:

In the table of standard reduction potentials, locate the half-reactions for the reductions of the following nonmetals: F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂ (reduction to halide ions), and O₂, S, Se (reduction to H₂X in aqueous acid). Among the elements, ions, and compounds that make up these half-reactions:
(a) Which element is the weakest oxidizing agent?
(b) Which ion or H₂X is the weakest reducing agent?
(c) Which of the elements listed is (are) capable of oxidizing H₂O to O₂?
(d) Which of these elements listed is (are) capable of oxidizing H₂S to S?
(e) Is O₂ capable of oxidizing I⁻ to I₂, in acid solution?
(f) Is S capable of oxidizing I⁻ to I₂?
(g) Is the reaction H₂S(aq) + Se(s) → H₂Se(aq) + S(s) product-favored at equilibrium?
(h) Is the reaction H₂S(aq) + I₂(s) → 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) + S(s) product-favored at equilibrium?
