Question:

Use the table of standard reduction potentials (Table 11.1) to pick a reagent that is capable of each of the following oxidations (under standard conditions in acidic solution).

a. oxidizes \(\mathrm{Br}^{-}\)to \(\mathrm{Br}_{2}\) but does not oxidize \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)to \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

b. oxidizes \(\mathrm{Mn}\) to \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\) but does not oxidize \(\mathrm{Ni}\) to \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\)
