which of the folowing is the strongest oxidizing agent?

A

`As_(2)O_(5)`

B

`N_(2)O_(5)`

C

`P_(2)O_(5)`

D

`Sb_(2)O_(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
Among these oxides `P_(2)O_(5)` is most stable pentoxide (decomposition temperature ` 420^(@)C`) and `N_(2)O_(5)` is least stable (decomposition temperature `30^(@)C)`. As `N_(2)O_(5)` is least stable, it acts as a powerful oxidizing agent due to furnishing of `O_(2)`
