The strongest oxidizing agent among the following is

A

`K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`

B

`MnO_(2)`

C

`KMnO_(4)`

D

`Cl_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`E^(c-)._(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)|Cr^(3+))=1.33V,E^(c-)._(MnO_(2)|Mn^(2+))=1.23V,`
`E^(c-)._(MnO_(4)^(c-)|Mn^(2+))=1.51V,e^(C-)._(Cl_(2)|Cl^(c-))=1.36V,`
`:. E^(c-)._(MnO_(4)^(c-)|Mn^(2+))` is highest , `KMnO_(4)` is the strongest oxidizing agent.
