Upon reviewing the reduction potentials, we recognize that ag plus has a greater reduction potential at 0 .799 volts.
00:13
Then does zinc.
00:15
Zinc has a reduction potential at zinc 2 plus at 0.
00:22
Negative, 0 .76 volts.
00:28
So that means silver wants to be reduced more, so it will be reduced.
00:32
Reduced and we'll get a reaction of ag plus plus zn solid going to silver plus no silver solid plus the end two plus and then we'll need to balance it so we have a two plus charge on both sides so that means a silver is being reduced so it's serving as the cathode so silver is the that's where reduction is occurring, where silver plus is being reduced to silver solid.
01:17
So that's number 15.
01:22
Number 16 shows that zinc solid will be oxidized in the presence of silver bromide, but silver will not be oxidized in the presence of zinc bromide.
01:44
So that means agbr, being the one reduced, is a stronger oxidizing agent, and zn is going to be, which becomes oxidized, is the stronger reducing agent.
02:11
So of the statements, zinc is a stronger reducing agent than silver.
02:16
That's true...
