Electrode potentials ( E ^ ) are given below : aligned & Cu ⁺ / Cu =+0.52 ~V , & Fe ³⁺ / Fe ²⁺=+0.77 ~V , & 1 2 I ₂( ~s ) / I ⁻=+0.54 ~V , & Ag ⁺ / Ag =+0.88 ~V . aligned Based on the above potentials, strongest oxidizing agent will be :

Question

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Ag ⁺

Higher the value of reduction potential stronger will be the oxidising hence based on the given values Ag ⁺ will be strongest oxidizing agent.
