Click For Summary
Nickel can reduce metals that have a higher standard reduction potential, as it is a stronger reductant. In the discussion, it is confirmed that three specific metals possess a higher standard reduction potential than nickel, making them weaker reductants. The conclusion reached is that nickel can effectively reduce these metals. The participant's understanding of the relationship between reduction potential and reductant strength is validated. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the role of standard reduction potentials in determining which metals nickel can reduce.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


If a metal was to plate out, it means nickel is a stronger reductant therefore more negative standard reduction potential. 3 metals have a higher standard reduction potential so they will are weaker reductants than nickel. So is D correct?

Cheers!
 
Yes your answer is correct.
