MCQ
Use the data and find out the most stable oxidised species$.\ \text{E}^\ominus_{\text{cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7/\text{cr}^{3+}}=1.33\text{V}\ \ \ \text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cl}_2/\text{Cl}^-}=1.36\text{V}$ $\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{MnO}^-_4/\text{Mn}^{2+}}=1.51\text{V}\ \ \ \ \text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr}}=-0.74\text{V}$
  • $\text{Cr}^{3+}$
  • B
    $\text{MnO}^-_4$
  • C
    $\text{Cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7$
  • D
    $\text{Mn}^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\text{Cr}^{3+}$
$\text{Cr}^{3+}/Cr$ has most negative value of standard reduction potential. Hence, $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ is the most oxidized species.
