On the basis of the following `E^(@)` values, the strongest oxidising agent is
`[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-) to [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)+e^(-),E^(@)-0.35V`
`Fe^(2+) to Fe^(3+),E^(@)=-0.77V`

A

`Fe^(3+)`

B

`[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`

C

`[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)`

D

`Fe^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`{:([Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)rarr[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)",",E^(@)=+0.35V),(" "Fe^(3+)rarrFe^(2+)",",E^(@)=+0.77V):}`
Higher the positive reduction potential, stronger is the oxidizing agent. Oxidizing agent oxidizes other compounds and gets itself reduced easily.
