Question

Based on the following electrochemical data, which is the strongest oxidizing agen
Hg2+(aq) + 2e →
Hg(1)
E°red
= +0.85 V
Cr20-2(aq) + 14H*(aq) + 6e¯
2Cr³+(aq) + 7H20(1)
E°red = +1.33 V
Ca2+(aq) + 2e¯ –→ Ca(s)
E°red = -2.76 V
Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ → Zn(s)
E°red = -0.76 V
NO3 (aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e¯ → NO(g) + 2H2O(1)
E°red = +0.96 V

Expert Solution

Step 1

Oxidizing agent : If the reduction potential of a species is high or more positive then it will acts as an oxidising agent i.e. it will oxidised another species but reduced itself.
