The standard reduction potentials at `25^(@)C ` of `Li^(+)//Li, Ba^(2+)//Ba, Na^(+) // Na and Mg^(2+) // Mg ` are - 3.05, -2.73, -2.71 and -2.37 volt respectively. Which one of the following is the strongest oxidising agent?

A

`Na^(+)`

B

`Li^(+)`

C

`Ba^(2+)`

D

`Mg^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Mg^(2+)` with the highest value of reduction potential is the weakest reducing agent and hence the strongest oxidising agent
