On the basis of the following Eo values, the strongest oxidizing agent is
[Fe(CN)6]4 [Fe(CN)6]3 + e; Eo = 0.35 V
Fe2+ Fe3+ + e; Eo = 0.77 V
[Fe(CN)6]4 [Fe(CN)6]3 + e; Eo = 0.35 V
Fe2+ Fe3+ + e; Eo = 0.77 V
- AFe3+
- B[Fe(CN)6]3
- C[Fe(CN)6]4
- DFe2+

Correct answer: A
Substances which have higher reduction
potential are stronger oxidizing agent.
[Fe(CN)6]4 [Fe(CN)6]3 + e; Eo = 0.35 V
Fe2+ Fe3+ + e; Eo = 0.77 V
Higher the +ve reduction potential, stronger will
be the oxidising agent. Oxidising agent oxidises
other compounds and gets itself reduced easily.
