All the following species are strong oxidizing agents. Their strength as oxidizing agents in acidic solution is such that

Options

  1. AS2O82−>Cr2O72−>MnO4−{S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -} > Mn{O}_{4}^{-}
  2. BMnO4−>Cr2O72−>S2O82−Mn{O}_{4}^{-} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -} > {S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -}
  3. CS2O82−>MnO4−>Cr2O72−{S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} > Mn{O}_{4}^{-} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -}
  4. DMnO4−>S2O82−>Cr2O72−Mn{O}_{4}^{-} > {S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -}

Correct answer

C. S2O82−>MnO4−>Cr2O72−{S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} > Mn{O}_{4}^{-} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -}

Step-by-step solution

The standard reduction potentials of the above species in acidic medium are as given below
S2O82−(aq)+2e−→2SO42−(aq);E°=+2.01V{S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} ( aq ) + 2e^{-} \to 2S{O}_{4}^{2 -} ( aq ) ; E ° = + 2.01\text{V}
MnO4−(aq)+8H++5e−→Mn2+(aq)+4H2O;E°=+1.77VMn{O}_{4}^{-} ( aq ) + 8H^{+} + 5e^{-} \to Mn^{2 +} ( aq ) + 4{H}_{2}O; E ° = + 1.77\text{V}
Cr2O72−(aq)+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O;E°=+1.33VC{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -} ( aq ) + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \to 2Cr^{3 +} + 7{H}_{2}O; E ° = + 1.33\text{V}
The more the standard reduction potential, the more the tendency of the species to undergo reduction and more strongly it (species) would work as oxidizing agent.
As a result, their strength as oxidizing agent in acidic solution decreases in the following order
S2O82−>MnO4−>Cr2O72−{S}_{2}{O}_{8}^{2 -} > Mn{O}_{4}^{-} > C{r}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -}
