13) a) E0 of F2/F- = 2.87V
E0 of H+/H2 = 0.00V
E0 of Zn+2/Zn = - 0.763V
The order is E0 of Zn+2/Zn = - 0.763V
E0 of H+/H2 = 0.00V
E0 of F2/F- = 2.87V
More SRP electrode acts as strongest oxidising agent and lease SrP electode acts as strongest reducing agent.
1) weakest oxidising agent = Zn
2) Strongest redcuing agent = Zn
3) strongest oxidising agent = F2
4) weakest reducing agent = F2
5) No, F- acts as strongest oxidising agent ;So it oxidises the other substances.[ it has more SRP than Zn]
6) F- ion reduced by H2
H2 +2 F- ---------------- 2 H+ + F2
b) E0 0f Ag+/Ag = 0.799V
E0 0f Co+2/Co = - 0.280V
E0 of Fe+2/Fe = - 0.44V
The order is E0 of Fe+2/Fe = - 0.44V
E0 0f Co+2/Co = - 0.280V
E0 0f Ag+/Ag = 0.799V
1) weakest oxidising agent = Fe
2) strongest reducing agent = Fe
3) strongest oxidising agent = Ag
4) weakest reducing agent = Ag
5) N0
6) Fe is oxidised by CO+2
Fe + Co+2 --------------- Fe+2 + Co
