Standard reduction potentails of the half reactions are given below:
`F_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2F^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +2.87`
`Cl_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2Cl^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +1.36 V`
`Br_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2Br^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +1.09 V`
`I_(2)(s)+2e^(-) rarr 2l^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +0.54 V`
The strongest oxidizing and reducing agents respectively are:

A

`F_(2)` and `I^(-)`

B

`Br_(2)` and `Cl^(-)`

C

`Cl_(2)` and `Br^(-)`

D

`Cl_(2)` and `I_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The higher the value of reduction potential, the higher will be the oxidising power whereas the lower the value of reduction potential the higher will be the reducing power.
