Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 548
Question: Which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent [Pb. CET 2000]
Options:
A) $ BrO_3^{-}/B{{r}^{2+}},,E^{o}=+1.50 $
B) $ F{{e}^{3+}}/F{{e}^{2+}},,E^{o}=+0.76 $
C) $ MnO_4^{-}/M{{n}^{2+}},,E^{o}=+1.52 $
D) $ Cr_2O_7^{2-}/C{{r}^{3+}},,E^{o}=+1.33 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Higher is the reduction potential stronger is the oxidising agent. Hence in the given options. $ MnO_4^{-} $ is strongest oxidising agent.
