Chapter 19.5, Problem 19.7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stronger oxidizing agent should be given from given acidic ${\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}{}^{\text{-}}$ and ${\text{Ag}}^{\text{+}}$ oxidizing agents.

Concept introduction:

Strengths of and Reducing Agents:

In electrochemistry Standard electrode potential are used to determine the strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents.

If Standard reduction potential is known, the more positive value containing species is act as a stronger oxidizing agent and more negative value containing species is act as a stronger reducing agent.
