Among the following, which is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Solution
Strongest oxidising agent have highest reduction potential value<br/><br/>
$$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \mid \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}}^{\circ}= + 0.77 \mathrm{~V} \quad \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ti}^{3+} \mid \mathrm{Ti}^{2+}}^{\circ}=-0.37 \mathrm{~V}$$<br/><br/>
$$\mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{+3} \mid \mathrm{Mn}^{+2}}=+1.57 \mathrm{~V} \quad \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\mid\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}} = -0.41 \mathrm{~V}$$<br/><br/>
$\mathrm{Mn}^{+3}$ is the best oxidising agent among the given series.
