Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{VO}_2^{+} \lt \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-} \lt \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation state of the various transition elements are \(\mathrm{V}=+5, \mathrm{Mn}=+7, \mathrm{Cr}-+6\) Oxidizing power depends upon the stability of the reduction product obtained. Since lower oxides of Mn are more stable than that of Cr and V . So the order of increasing…
