Question
Given
= 1.36 V, = - 0.74 V
= 1.33 V, = 1.51 V
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is :
= 1.36 V, = - 0.74 V
= 1.33 V, = 1.51 V
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is :

Correct answer
DCr
Step-by-step explanation
= 1.36 V, = - 0.74 V
= 1.33 V, = 1.51 V
More negative the E° value of the species, more stronger is the reducing agent. Since Cr3+ is having least reducing potential, so Cr would be strongest reducing agent.
= 1.33 V, = 1.51 V
More negative the E° value of the species, more stronger is the reducing agent. Since Cr3+ is having least reducing potential, so Cr would be strongest reducing agent.
