1. Reducing agents can be ranked by increasing strength by ranking their oxidation potentials . 2. The oxidation potential for a particular electrode is just the negative of the reduction potential. 3. Similar to ruthenium, the oxidation potential of manganese is high, leading to over-oxidation of substrates. 4. The oxidation potential of copper may be responsible for some of its toxicity in excess ingestion cases. 5. However, to develop highly water soluble quinone compounds with optimized reduction or oxidation potential is not straightforward. 6. Thus, the oxidation potential of a chemical species is listed as the reduction potential of its oxidized form. 7. Here, fluids react less via chemical exchange of ions, but because of the redox-oxidation potential of the wall rocks. 8. There is also a linear relationship between the corrected chemiluminescence intensity and the oxidation potential of the molecule [ 6 ]. 9. The table below shows a few reduction potentials that could easily be changed to oxidation potential by simply reversing the sign. 10. The reducing agent is stronger when it has a more positive oxidation potential and weaker when it has a negative oxidation potential .
