Consider the reduction reactions and their equilibrium constants. cu+(aq)+e−↽−−⇀cu(s)pb2+(aq)+2e−↽−−⇀ pb(s)fe3+(aq)+3e−↽−−⇀fe(=6.2×108=4. 0×10−5=9.3×10−3 cu + ( aq ) + e − ↽ − − ⇀ cu ( s ) k =6.2× 10 8 pb 2 + ( aq ) +2 e − ↽ − − ⇀ pb ( s ) k =4.0× 10 − 5 fe 3 + ( aq ) +3 e − ↽ − − ⇀ fe ( s ) k =9.3× 10 − 3 arrange these ions from strongest to weakest oxidizing agent.

Cu + Fe 3  Pb 2 +

Explanation:

the most reactive metal is the strongest reducing agent but weakest oxidizing agent. And therefore copper being the least  reactive turns to be the strongest oxidizing agent followed by iron then lead.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
