The correct Answer is:
To determine the strongest oxidizing agent based on the given standard electrode potentials (E° values), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their E° values We have two half-reactions with their respective E° values: 1. \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \rightarrow [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} + e^{-}\), \(E° = -0.35 \, V\) 2. \(Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + e^{-}\), \(E° = -0.77 \, V\) ### Step 2: Convert oxidation potentials to reduction potentials To find the reduction potential for each half-reaction, we need to change the sign of the given E° values: 1. For the first half-reaction: \[ E°_{reduction} = -(-0.35 \, V) = +0.35 \, V \] 2. For the second half-reaction: \[ E°_{reduction} = -(-0.77 \, V) = +0.77 \, V \] ### Step 3: Compare the reduction potentials Now we compare the reduction potentials: - For \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\): \(E° = +0.35 \, V\) - For \(Fe^{2+}\): \(E° = +0.77 \, V\) ### Step 4: Identify the strongest oxidizing agent The stronger the oxidizing agent, the higher the reduction potential. In this case, \(Fe^{2+}\) has a higher reduction potential (\(+0.77 \, V\)) compared to \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\) (\(+0.35 \, V\)). Therefore, \(Fe^{2+}\) is the strongest oxidizing agent. ### Conclusion The strongest oxidizing agent among the given options is: \[ \text{Answer: } Fe^{2+} \] ---
