MCQ
Which of the following solution is strongest oxidizing agent?
  • A
    $\text{MnO}_4^- $ in acidic medium.
  • $\text{MnO}_4^-$ in basic medium.
  • C
    $\text{MnO}_2$ in basic medium.
  • D
    $\text{CrO2}_4^-$ in basic medium.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\text{MnO}_4^-$ in basic medium.
$\text{MnO}_4^-+3\text{e}^-+2\text{H}_2\text{O}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{MnO}_2+4\text{OH}^- \ 
\text{E}^\circ = 1.69V,$ which is highest.
