Which of the following is the most powerful oxidising agent?

A

`F_(2)`

B

`O_(2)`

C

`Br_(2)`

D

`I_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Acidified `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` solution oxidises `SO_(2)" into "Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)`.
`3S overset(+4)(O_(2))+K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)+H_(2)SO_(4) to K_(2)SO_(4) +Cr_(2) (overset(+6)(SO)_(4))_(3)+H_(2)O`
Hence, oxidation state of sulphur changes from +4 to +6.
