Under standard conditions, Consider the following standard reduction potentials,
Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.26 V I2(s) + 2 e- → 2 I-(aq) E° = +0.54 V Under standard conditions,
a)Ni2+(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I2(s) and I-(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than Ni(s).
b)I2(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni2+(aq) and Ni(s) is a stronger reducing agent than I-(aq).
c)I-(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni(s) and I2(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Ni2+(aq).
d)Ni(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I-(aq) and Ni2+(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than I2(s).
