On the basis of the following E values, the strongest oxidizing agent is [Fe(CN)6]4- [Fe(CN)6]3- + e-; E = -0.35 V Fe2+ Fe3+ + e-; E = -0.77 V

  1. Fe3+
  2. [Fe(CN)6]3-
  3. [Fe(CN)6]4-
  4. Fe2+

Answer

(1) Fe3+

Solution

The given values are oxidation potentials; reversing the reactions gives the standard reduction potentials:

[Fe(CN)6]3- + e- [Fe(CN)6]4-; E = +0.35 V

Fe3+ + e- Fe2+; E = +0.77 V

As per NCERT, the higher the standard reduction potential, the greater the tendency of the species to be reduced, i.e. the stronger the oxidising agent.

Fe3+ (highest reduction potential, +0.77 V) is the strongest oxidising agent.

Kohlrausch's law states that at

  1. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to conductance of an electrolyte whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
  2. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte, whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
  3. Finite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte, whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
  4. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte depending on the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte.
