cr 2 is the stronger reducing agent since it has a high affinity to loose oxygen and gain hydrogen and ions

As we know that, the more negative the electrode potential greater is the reducing power of the electrode. The Highest Oxidation state for chromium is + 6 therefore it can loose 3 more electrons, whereas Fe needs to loose only 1 electron to achieve its Highest Oxidation state of + 3. Thus, chromium 3+ is not reducing than Fe 2 +.
