Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 171

Question: Standard reduction potentials at $ 25^{o}C $ of $ L{i^{+}}|Li,,B{a^{2+}}|,Ba,,N{a^{+}}|,Na $ and $ M{g^{2+}}|Mg $ are $ -3.05,,-2.90,,-2.71 $ and $ -2.37 $ volt respectively. Which one of the following is the strongest oxidising agent [CBSE PMT 1994; JIPMER 2002]

Options:

A) $ N{a^{+}} $

B) $ L{i^{+}} $

C) $ B{a^{2+}} $

D) $ M{g^{2+}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D
