Given ,E0Cl2/Cl=1.36 V

  E0Cr3+/Cr=0.74V

E0Cr2O27/Cr3+=1.33V

E0MnO4/Mn2+=1.51V

Among the following , the strongest reducing agent is


A) Cr

B) Mn2+

C) Cr3+

D) Cl

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The substance which has the lowest reduction potentials are stronger reducing agents. Therefore, Cr ( E0Cr3+/Cr=0.74V ) is the strongest reducing agent among the other given options.
