Examine the following half-reactions and select the weakest reducing agent among the
substances.
Cr(OH)3(s) + 3e- Cr(s) + 3OH-(aq)
SnO₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) + 4e¯ ≥ Sn(s) + 4OH-( aq)
MnO₂(s) + 4H*(aq) + 2e- ⇒ Mn²*(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
Hg2SO4(s) + 2e-2Hg(/) + SO4²-(aq)
A) Cr(s)
B) OH-(aq)
C) Sn(s)
D) Hg(/)
2+
E) Mn²+ (aq)
E° = -1.48 V
E° = -0.945 V
E° = 1.224 V
E° = 0.613 V
