Question: The standard reduction potentials at $ 25{}^\circ C $ of $ L{i^{+}}/Li,B{a^{2+}}/Ba,N{a^{+}}/Na $ and $ M{g^{2+}}/Mg $ are $ -3.03,-2.73,-2.71 $ and $ -2.37 $ volt respectively Which one of the following is the strongest oxidising agent-
Options:
A) $ N{a^{+}} $
B) $ L{i^{+}} $
C) $ B{a^{2+}} $
D) $ M{g^{2+}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Higher the reduction potential, stronger is the oxidising agent.
