The more positive the value of `E^(θ)`, the greater is the trendency of the species to get reduced. Using the standard electrode potential of redox coples given below find out which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent. `E^(θ)` values: `Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) = +0.77` `I_(2)(s)//I^(-) = +0.54`, `Cu^(2+)//Cu = +0.34, Ag^(+)//A = 0.80V`A. `Fe^(3+)`B. `I_(2)(s)`C. `Cu^(2+)`D. `Ag^(+)`

Answer» `Ag^(+)` ion has the maximum tendency to get reduced since `E^(@) Ag^(+)//Ag` is the maximum.Therefore ,`Ag^(+)`ion is the strongest oxidising agent
