MCQ
Given
$E^o_{Cl_2/Cl^-} = 1.36\,V,$ $E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}= -0.74\,V,$
$E^o_{Cr_2/O_7^{2-}/Cr^{3+}}=1.33\,V,$ $E^o_{MnO^-_4/Mn^{2+}} = 1.51\,V$
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is
- ✓$Cr$
- B$Mn^{2+}$
- C$Cr^{+3}$
- D$Cl^-$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$Cr$
a
Lower the reduction potential, greater is the tendency of the element to get oxidized, hence, greater is the reducing ability. Since, chromium system has lowest reduction potential; therefore, it is the strongest reducing agent.
