Question

Given:
W3+(aq) + 3e- W(s); = 0.10 V
Pb2+(aq) + 2e- Pb(s); = -0.13 V
Ni2+(aq) + 2e- Ni(s); = -0.23 V
Cd2+(aq) + 2e- Cd(s); = -0.40 V
Zn2+(aq) + 2e- Zn(s); = -0.76 V
Al3+(aq) + 3e- Al(s); = -1.66 V
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- Mg(s); = -2.38 V
Under standard-state conditions, which of the following metals will reduce W3+to W but will not reduce Ni2+to Ni?
A) Cd
B) Pb
C) Al
D) Zn
E) Mg
