In an experiment to study the reactivity of Sn(s), Ga(s), Be(s), and Pd(s), the following reactions were observed:

2 Ga(s) + 3 Sn²⁺(aq) -> 3 Sn(s) + 2 Ga³⁺(aq)

Ga(s) + Be²⁺(aq) -> (No evidence of reaction)

Sn(s) + Pd²⁺(aq) -> Pd(s) + Sn²⁺(aq)

Then the question lists all of the metals and their respective ions:

1. Sn(s) 2. Ga(s) 3. Be(s) 4. Pd(s) 5. Ga³⁺(aq) 6. Sn²⁺(aq) 7. Be²⁺(aq) 8. Pd²⁺(aq)

So I need to list out the following:

The oxidizing agents from strongest to weakest

The reducing agents from strongest to weakest

I have tried to answer this question using my provided "Table of Selected Standard Electrode Potentials", however, I can only find one metal and its respective ions, Se, in the table.

Would someone be able to explain how I can answer this question when the aforementioned substances aren't on the table? It would be greatly appreciated.

Explain why the sum of the potentials for the half-reactions Sn2+(aq) + 2e− → Sn(s) and Sn4+(aq) + 2e− → Sn2+(aq) does not equal the potential for the reaction Sn4+(aq) + 4e−→ Sn(s). What is the net cell potential? Compare the values of ΔG° for the sum of the potentials and the actual net cell potential.
