The strongest oxidizing agent among the following is : [HINT : Refer to Electrochemical series]

Options

A. `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`
B. `MnO_(2)`
C. `KMnO_(4)`
D. `C1_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`E_(Cr_(2) O_(7)^(2-)//Cr^(3+))^(@) = 1.33 V `, `E_(MnO_(2)//Mn^(2+))^(@) = 1.23V`, `E_(MnO_(4)^(-)//Mn^(2+)) = 1.51V`, `E_(Cl_(2)//(Cl^(-))) =1.36V`
`therefore E_(MnO_(4)^(-)//MN^(2+))^(@)` is highest , `KMnO_(4)` is the strongest oxidising agent.
