Consider the cell potentials `E_(Mg^(2+)|Mg)^(0)=-2.37V` and `E_(Fe^(3+)|Fe)^(0)=-0.04V` The best reducing agent would beA. `Mg^(2+)`B. `Fe^(3+)` decreaseC. `Mg`D. `Fe`

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`Fe^(3+) & Mg^(2+)` are oxidising agent of `Mg` has more negative value of SRP.
`E_(anode Mg//Mg^(2+))^(@)=2.37V`
`E_(anode Fe//Fe^(3+))^(@)=0.04V`
`i.e.` best reducing agent is Mg.
