The standard reduction potentials at 298K for the following half-reactions are given against each

Zn2+(aq) + 2e ⇌ Zn(s); -0.762 V

Cr3+(aq) + 3e ⇌ Cr(s); -0.740 V

2H+(aq) + 2e ⇌ H2(g); 0.00 V

Fe3+(aq) + e ⇌ Fe2+(aq); 0.770 V

Which is the strongest reducing agent?

(a) Zn (s)

(b) Cr (s)

(c) H2(g)

(d) Fe3+(aq)

(a) Zn (s)

Explanation:

Since oxidation potential of Zn is highest hence strongest reducing agent.
