A) Al3 (aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I2(s), and I-(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than Al(s).B) I2(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Al3 (aq), and Al(s) is a stronger reducing agent than I-(aq).C) Al(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than I-(aq), and Al3 (aq) is a stronger reducing agent than I2(s).D) I-(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Al(s), and I2(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Al3 (aq).

B) I2(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Al3 (aq), and Al(s) is a stronger reducing agent than I-(aq).

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent accepts electrons in a redox reaction and become reduced while a reducing agent looses electrons and become oxidized.

Hence in a redox reaction, oxidizing agents are reduced while reducing agents are oxidized.

Looking at I2 and Al3+, I2 is a better oxidizing agent since it has a reduction potential of +0.54V compared to -1.66V for Al3+.

Given the statements above, the converse must be true, that is; All is a better reducing agent compared to I-

it would be a gas formation
