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)
