Question

Identify the strongest and the weakest reducing agents from the electrochemical series.

✓

Answer

(a) From the electrochemical series, the strongest reducing agent is lithium since it has the lowest standard reduction potential $\left(E_{ Li ^{+} / Li }^0=-3.045 V \right)$.
(b) The weakest reducing agent is fluorine since it has the highest standard reduction potential,
$
\left(E_{ F _2 / F ^{-}}^0=+2.87 V \right)
$
