Given,

straight E subscript Cl subscript 2 divided by Cl to the power of minus end subscript superscript 0 space equals 1.36 space comma
straight E subscript Cr to the power of 3 plus end exponent divided by Cr end subscript superscript 0 space equals space minus 0.74 space straight V
straight E subscript Cr subscript 2 straight O subscript 7 superscript 2 minus end superscript end subscript superscript 0 space equals space 1.33 space straight V comma
straight E subscript MnO subscript 4 superscript minus divided by Mn to the power of 2 plus end exponent end subscript superscript 0 space equals space 1.51 space straight V
Among the following, the strongest reducing agent is

  • Cr

  • Mn2+

  • Cr3+

  • Cl-

Solution

A.

Cr

Cr+3 is having least reducing potential, therefore Cr is the best Reducing agent.
