The more positive the value of EΘ , the greater is
the tendency of the species to get reduced.
Using the standard electrode potential of redox
couples given below find out which of the
following is the strongest oxidising agent.
EΘ values : Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ = + 0.77; I₂(s)/I⁻ = + 0.54;
Cu²⁺/Cu = + 0.34; Ag⁺ /Ag = + 0.80V
(a) Fe³⁺ (b) I₂
(c) Cu²⁺ (d) Ag⁺

(d) Ag⁺ is the strongest oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
From the given condition, the higher the value of the E° of an element, the element has higher possibility to get reduced. This means the element can acts as higher oxidizing agent.
From the given value of E°, the Ag⁺/Ag has higher value which is + 0.80 V.
Thus, Ag⁺ is the strongest oxidizing from the given list.
