Question

Based on the following reduction potential data, which is the strongest reducing agent? H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- ? 2H2O(l) E°red = +1.78 V Ag+(aq) + e- ? Ag(s) E°red = +0.800 V Pb2+(aq) + 2e- ? Pb(s) E°red = -0.130 V Ag(s) Pb2+(aq) Pb(s) H2O2(aq) H2O(l) Ag+(aq)

          Based on the following reduction potential data, which is the strongest reducing agent?

H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- ? 2H2O(l) E°red = +1.78 V
Ag+(aq) + e- ? Ag(s) E°red = +0.800 V
Pb2+(aq) + 2e- ? Pb(s) E°red = -0.130 V
