Given `E_("Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)//Cr^(3+))^(@)=1.33V,E_(MnO_(4)^(-)//Mn^(2+))^(@)=1.51V`
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is `E_(Cr^(3+)//Cr)^(@)=-0.74V^(x),E_(MnO_(4)^(-)//Mn^(2+))^(@)=1.51V`
`E_(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)//Cr^(3+))^(@)=1.33V,E_(Cl//Cl^(-))^(@)=1.36V`
Based on the data given above strongest oxidising agent will be

Options

A. `CI^(-)`
B. `Cr^(3+)`
C. `Mn^(2+)`
D. `MnO_(4)^(-)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Oxidising power is directly proprotional to reduction potential.
