Explain why `PbCl_4` is a good oxidising agent.

Why PbCl_(4) is good oxidising agent?

(a) Explain why Ce^(4+) is a good oxidising agent whereas Sm^(2+) is a good reducing agent. (b) You are supplied with a concentrated solution of Na_2CrO_4 . How will you obtain K_2Cr_2O_7 from this? Write the equation involved.

Why Ce^(4+) is a good oxidising agent
