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 ⇌ Feu2+ (aq) ; 0.770 V
Which is the strongest reducing agent?
(a) Zn (s)
(b) Cr (s)
(c) H2(g)
(d) Fe3+(aq)
