i told you that a good reducing agent is the one which oxidises most easily. examples:
Cl- Fl- I-
in the above ions the general equation is
2Cl- -->Cl2 + 2e-
Cl- ion is more stable than I- but Fl- is more stable than Cl-. so strongest reducing agent is I-

Cl F I
none of these are oxidising agents

Na Mg Al
equation when oxidised
Na --> Na+ + e-
This is the equation of ionisation. Na ionise more readily than Mg which is ionises more readily than Al
So Na is strongest
Dude group 7 elements are oxidizing agents cause they're very easily reduced to their halides...the halides in turn are good reducing agents

Suchal Riaz this one:
At a total pressure of 1 ATM, dinitrigen tetra oxide is 50% dissociated at a temperature of 60 degrees, according to the following equation:
N2O4 <---> 2NO2
What's the value if the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the reaction at 60 degrees?

Just got done with this. It might help any of you like myself who left P5 to the last day. (Well, me, because I really don't care about it. It's such a tiny percentage etc).
What I noticed going through a few papers was some Q2's actually showed you how to do Q1's of other years, so I made a list of the topics asked for in each Q1 and method boldly explained in relevant Q2's.
