  • question_answer
    The standard reduction potential of \[L{{i}^{+}}/Li\]\[B{{a}^{2+}}/Ba,\,\,N{{a}^{+}}/Na\] and \[M{{g}^{2+}}/Mg\] are\[-3.05\],\[-2.73\], \[-2.71\]and \[-2.37\] volt respectively, Which one of the following is strongest oxidising agent?

    A) \[B{{a}^{2+}}\]                                 

    B) \[M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    C) \[N{{a}^{+}}\]                                   

    D) \[L{{i}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The strongest oxidising agent is one which has maximum tendency to gain electrons, i.e., whose\[E_{\text{Red}}^{\text{o}}\]is maximum.
