Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.94QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stronger oxidizing agent out of sulfuric and selenic acid is to be determined.
Concept introduction: An oxidizing agent is the electron acceptor as it takes electrons from another compound or chemical species and it gets reduced itself and oxidizes that species from which it takes electrons.
The oxidizing agents have a high oxidation state.
Examples of oxidizing agents are potassium dichromate, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, halogens and hypochlorite.
Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent because its standard electrode potential value is very positive.
Oxidizing agents are used for purifying water, bleaching the fabrics, in dyes.
To determine: The stronger oxidizing agent out of sulfuric and selenic acid.
