Standrd reduction potentials of the half reactions are given below :
`F_2 (g) +re^- rarr 2 F^(-) (aq) E^@ = + 2.85 V`
` Cl_2 (g) +2e^- rarr 2 Cl^-(aq) , E^2 = + 1.36 V`
`Br _2 (i) + 2 e^- rarr 2Br (aq) , E^2 = + 1. 06 V`
`I_2 (s) + 2 e^- rarr 2I^(-) (aq) , E^2 = + . 53 V`.
The strongest oxidizing and reducing agents respectively

Options

A. ` F_2` and `I^(-)`
B. ` Br_(2)` and `C l^(-)`
C. `Cl_2` and `Br^(-)`
D. ` Cl_2` and `I_2`

Answer

A

Explanation

The given values are `E_(RP)^@` More si `E_(RP)^@` , more is the tendency to gin electron or to show reduction or to show strong oxedant nature .
