The correct Answer is:
To determine the strongest oxidizing agent based on the given standard electrode potentials (E° values), we will analyze the provided half-reactions and their corresponding potentials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Reactions and E° Values:** - The first reaction is: \[ [Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \rightarrow [Fe(CN)_5]^{3-} + e^{-} \quad E° = -0.35 \, V \] - The second reaction is: \[ Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \quad E° = -0.77 \, V \] 2. **Convert to Reduction Potentials:** - For the first reaction, we can write the reduction potential by reversing the reaction: \[ [Fe(CN)_5]^{3-} + e^{-} \rightarrow [Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \quad E° = +0.35 \, V \] - For the second reaction, we also reverse it to find the reduction potential: \[ Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+} \quad E° = +0.77 \, V \] 3. **Compare the Reduction Potentials:** - Now we have the reduction potentials: - For \([Fe(CN)_5]^{3-}\): \(E° = +0.35 \, V\) - For \(Fe^{3+}\): \(E° = +0.77 \, V\) 4. **Determine the Strongest Oxidizing Agent:** - The strongest oxidizing agent is the one with the highest reduction potential. Here, \(Fe^{3+}\) has a higher reduction potential (+0.77 V) compared to \([Fe(CN)_5]^{3-}\) (+0.35 V). - Therefore, \(Fe^{3+}\) is the strongest oxidizing agent. ### Conclusion: The strongest oxidizing agent among the given options is \(Fe^{3+}\). ---
