Standard reducation potential at 25^(@)C...

Standard reducation potential at `25^(@)C` of `Li^(+)//Li`, `Ba^(2+)//Ba, Na^(+)//Na` and `Mg^(+)//Mg` are `-3.05, -2.90, -2.71` and `-2.37` volt respectively. Which one of the following is the strongest oxidising agent ?

A

`Li^(+)`

B

`Na^(+)`

C

`Mg^(+)`

D

`Ba^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Oxidising agent oxidises the other substance and in turn get sreduced. Thus, `Mg^(2+)` cation having maximum balue of standard reduction potential is the strongest oxidizing agent.
