Question

Consider the following standard reduction potentials,
Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- -> Ni(s) E = - 0.26 V
I2(s) + 2 e- -> 2 I-(aq) E = +0.54 V
Under standard conditions,
A) Ni2+(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I2(s) and I-(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than Ni(s).
B) I2(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni2+(aq) and Ni(s) is a stronger reducing agent than I-(aq).
C) Ni(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I-(aq) and Ni2+(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than I2(s).
D) I-(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Ni(s) and I2(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Ni2+(aq).
