The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of oxidizing strength among the ions \( \text{MnO}_4^- \), \( \text{VO}_2^+ \), and \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Central Atoms and Their Oxidation States We will calculate the oxidation state of the central atom for each ion. 1. **For \( \text{MnO}_4^- \)**: - Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( x \). - The equation will be: \[ x + 4(-2) = -1 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ x - 8 = -1 \implies x = +7 \] 2. **For \( \text{VO}_2^+ \)**: - Let the oxidation state of V be \( x \). - The equation will be: \[ x + 2(-2) = +1 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ x - 4 = +1 \implies x = +5 \] 3. **For \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \)**: - Let the oxidation state of Cr be \( x \). - The equation will be: \[ 2x + 7(-2) = -2 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 2x - 14 = -2 \implies 2x = +12 \implies x = +6 \] ### Step 2: Compare the Oxidation States Now we have the oxidation states: - \( \text{Mn}^{+7} \) from \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) - \( \text{V}^{+5} \) from \( \text{VO}_2^+ \) - \( \text{Cr}^{+6} \) from \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \) ### Step 3: Determine the Oxidizing Strength The oxidizing strength is generally higher for species with higher oxidation states. Therefore, we can rank the oxidizing strength based on the oxidation states: - \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) (Mn at +7) has the highest oxidizing strength. - \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \) (Cr at +6) has a lower oxidizing strength than \( \text{MnO}_4^- \). - \( \text{VO}_2^+ \) (V at +5) has the lowest oxidizing strength. ### Conclusion Thus, the correct order of oxidizing strength is: \[ \text{MnO}_4^- > \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} > \text{VO}_2^+ \] ### Final Answer The correct option is \( \text{MnO}_4^- > \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} > \text{VO}_2^+ \). ---
