Using the data given below, the strongest reducing agent is:
\(E^o_{\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}/\text{Cr}^{3+}} = 1.33\) V \(E^o_{\text{MnO}_4^-/\text{Mn}^{2+}} = 1.51\) V
\(E^o_{\text{Cl}_2/\text{Cl}^-} = 1.36\) V \(E^o_{\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr}} = -0.74\) V
- A \(Cr\)
- B \(Cl^-\)
- C \(Mn^{2+}\)
- D \(Cr^{3+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(Cr\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A reducing agent undergoes oxidation. The strength of a reducing agent is directly proportional to its standard oxidation potential, which is the negative of its standard reduction potential. The standard oxidation potentials for the given species are:…
