Ok so I have been running into these types of problems and I was wondering if you guys can tell me if I have the correct logic.
Here's an arbitrary example
So say that the reduction potential for
X--> X(s) is [-3]
and for another reaction
Y-->Y(s) is [-5]
If a questions asks us if it is possible to reduce X using Y, would it be possible given that its oxidative potential is larger? Or another example can be "is it possible to reduce Y using X?"
I'm struggling on question stems like this and would appreciate any help!
Thanks
