Among the following, which is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Options
- AMn 3 +
- BTi 3 +
- CFe 3 +
- DCr 3 +
Correct answer
A. Mn 3 +
Step-by-step solution
The substance which will have the highest value of reduction potential will be the strongest oxidising agent. The values of reduction potential are as follow E Mn 3 + / Mn 2 + 0 = + 1 .57 V E Ti 3 + / Ti 2 + 0 = − 0 .37 V E Fe 3 + / Fe 2 + 0 = + 0 .77 V E Cr 3 + / Cr 2 + 0 = − 0 .41 V As we can see Mn + 3 has the highest value of standard reduction potential, so it will be the strongest oxidising agent.
