Given `E_(Cl_(2)//Cl^(-))^(@)=1.36V,E_(Cr^(3+)//Cr)^(@)=-0.74V`
`E_("Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)//Cr^(3+))^(@)=1.33V,E_(MnO_(4)^(-)//Mn^(2+))^(@)=1.51V`
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is

A

`Cr^(3+)`

B

`CI^(-)`

C

Cr

D

`Mn^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`I^(-) (-1)Na (0)` and `Fe^(2+)` (+2) all the three have already their minimum O.N and hence their O.N can only increase by losing electrons and hence acts as reducing agents
