` Zn^(2+) + 2e underset(larr)(rarr) Zn E^o =- 0/ 762 V`.
`2 H^+ + 2 Erarr H_2 (g) E^o = 0.000 V`
`Cr^(3+) + 3e underset(larr)(rarr) Cr E^o =- 0.740 V`
`Fe^(3+) 2e rarr Fe^(2+) E^o =0.772 V`
Which of the following is the strongest reducing agent ?

A

` Zn(s)`

B

`Cr(s)`

C

` H_2(g)`

D

` Fe^(2+)(aq)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
More negative is the reduction poptential, higher will be the reducing property , i.e. power to give up elctrons .
