The correct Answer is:
To determine the strongest oxidizing agent among the given species based on their standard reduction potential (SRP) values, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of Standard Reduction Potential (SRP) - The standard reduction potential (E°) indicates the tendency of a species to gain electrons (be reduced). The higher the SRP value, the stronger the oxidizing agent. ### Step 2: List the given species and their SRP values - In^(+3) (E° = -1.34 V) - Au^(+3) (E° = +1.4 V) - Hg^(+2) (E° = +0.86 V) - Cr^(+3) (E° = -0.74 V) ### Step 3: Identify the positive SRP values - From the list, the species with positive SRP values are: - Au^(+3) (E° = +1.4 V) - Hg^(+2) (E° = +0.86 V) ### Step 4: Compare the positive SRP values - Compare the SRP values of Au^(+3) and Hg^(+2): - Au^(+3): +1.4 V - Hg^(+2): +0.86 V ### Step 5: Determine the strongest oxidizing agent - Since Au^(+3) has the highest SRP value (+1.4 V), it is the strongest oxidizing agent among the given species. ### Conclusion - The strongest oxidizing agent is **Au^(+3)**. ---
