Purpose:
The purpose of this lab exercise is to construct a table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents. By completing this exercise, you will see how more extensive tables of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents have been developed.

Procedure:
Using the results from the three tables below, prepare a single table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents.


Table 1. Reactions of metals and nonmetals with solutions of ions.   
 I 2(aq)
 Cu2 + (aq)
 Ag + (aq)
 Br2 (aq)

Legend:
T = evidence redox reaction occurred
X = no evidence of redox reaction

Question:
1. Of the reactions that occurred spontaneously in the individual tables, what types of qualitative changes would you observe that would indicate the reaction is proceeding?
2. For the reactions that occurred spontaneously in the individual tables, balance these reactions assuming they are in an acidic solution.


ANY HELP would be appericate because i dont get wht they are trying to ask and what to do for it.

How'd the lab go?  What did you observe?

i really dont know. I am taking an online course and the teacher doesnt explain anythign and i never learned this b4 in dayschool. So, i am completely lost on how to get this assignment done. All the info i was given i have posted it in my first message other then that i have no info on anything. Please help me. I even tried to seach on google wht the hell is a redoz table and i still dont get on how to do it.
