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

A

`Cl^(-)`

B

`Cr^(3+)`

C

`Mb^(2+)`

D

`MnO_(4)^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`MnO_(4)^(-)` is the strongest oxidising agent because it was highest reduction potential value.
