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)

Correct answer: (a) Zn (s)

Explanation:

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