Given,

E_{C{l_2}/C{l^ - }}^\mathrm{o} = 1.36\,V,\,E_{C{r^{3 + }}/Cr}^\mathrm{o} = - 0.74\,V

E_{C{r_2}O_7^{2 - }/C{r^{3 + }}}^\mathrm{o} = 1.33\,V,\,E_{MnO_4^ - /M{n^{2 + }}}^\mathrm{o} = 1.51\,V

Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Cr

Option A (

Cr

) is correct because the strongest reducing agent has the lowest (most negative) reduction potential. Among the given options, Cr has the lowest reduction potential (-0.74 V).
