The ion(s) that act/s as oxidizing agent in solution is/are

A

`Tl^(+) and Al^(3+)`

B

`B^(3+) and Al^(3+)`

C

`Tl^(+3) ` only

D

`B^(3+)` only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Tl^(+)` ions are more stable than `Tl^(3+)` ions and thus,` Tl^(3+)` ions change to `Tl^(+)` ion thereby acting as oxidising agent.
`underset("(Less stable oxidising agent)")(Tl^(3+)"Compounds")+2e^(-)rarrTl^(+)underset("(More stable reducing agent)")("Compounds")`
