(a) Which metal ion is the weakest oxidizing agent?
(b) Which metal ion is the strongest oxidizing agent?
(c) Which metal is the strongest reducing agent?
(d) Which metal is the weakest reducing agent?
(e) Will Sn(s) reduce Cu2+(aq) to Cu(s)?
(f) Will Ag(s) reduce Co2+(aq) to Co(s)?
(g) Which metal ions on the list can be reduced by Sn(s)?
(h) What metals can be oxidized by Ag+(aq)?
