Question

Electrode potentials (E0) are given below:

Cu+/Cu = + 0.52 V,

Fe3+/Fe2+ = + 0.77 V,

\[\ce{1/2I2(s)/I^-}\] = + 0.54 V,

Ag+/Ag = + 0.88 V

Based on the above potentials, the strongest oxidizing agent will be:

Options

  • Cu+

  • Fe3+

  • Ag+

  • I2

Solution

Ag+

Explanation:

The higher the reduction potential value, the stronger the oxidizing agent; thus, based on the given values, Ag+ will be the strongest oxidizing agent.
