Question
Consider the following standard reduction potentials,

Fe2+(aq) + 2 e- → Fe(sE° = -0.45 V
Cl2(s) + 2 e- → 2 Cl-(aqE° = +1.36 V

Under standard conditions,
 

Question options:

 

A) 

Fe2+(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cl2(s) and Cl-(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than Fe(s).
 

B) 

Cl2(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Fe2+(aq) and Fe(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Cl-(aq).
 

C) 

Cl-(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Fe(s) and Cl2(s) is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+(aq).
 

D) 

Fe(s) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cl-(aq) and Fe2+(aq) is a stronger reducing agent than Cl2(s).
