How do you know when a species can be oxidized or reduced my an ion?
For ex. Which of the species can be oxidized by H+ and which species can be reduced by H2?
Ce4+, Ce3+, Fe2+,Fe3+,Fe, Mg2+,Ni2+,Sn

Depending on the level you should either use reactivity series or redox potentials from tables - or use redox potentials from tables and Nernst equation.
