16
Q

The more positive the redox potential…

A

…the less stable the ion will be and so the more likely it is to be reduced

17
Q

What two things affect redox potential?

A

Ligands

pH

18
Q

How do ligands affect redox potential?

A

Different ligands may make the redox potential larger or smaller, depending on how well they bind to the metal ion in a particular oxidation state

19
Q

How does pH affect the redox potential?

A
  • Some ions need H+ ions to be present in order to be reduced
  • Others release OH- ions into solution when they are reduced
20
Q

Why is Tollen’s reagent used as an oxidising agent to test for aldehydes?

A

Ag+ is easily reduced to silver metal
