(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger oxidizing agent needs to be identified between the following pair of oxidizing agents.
Cr or Cd
Concept introduction:
Oxidizing agent is the species which oxides others and itself gets reduced in a
(b)
Interpretation:
The stronger oxidizing agent needs to be identified between the following pair of oxidizing agents.
I- or Br-
Concept introduction:
Oxidizing agent is the species which oxides others and itself gets reduced in a chemical reaction. Thus, the more positive the standard potential more strongly the species can undergo reduction and act as a strong oxidizing agent.
(c)
Interpretation:
The stronger oxidizing agent needs to be identified between the following pair of oxidizing agents.
OH- or NO2 - (basic solution)
Concept introduction:
Oxidizing agent is the species which oxides others and itself gets reduced in a chemical reaction. Thus, the more positive the standard potential more strongly the species can undergo reduction and act as a strong oxidizing agent.
(d)
Interpretation:
The stronger oxidizing agent needs to be identified between the following pair of oxidizing agents.
NO in acidic solution or NO in basic solution
Concept introduction:
Oxidizing agent is the species which oxides others and itself gets reduced in a chemical reaction. Thus, the more positive the standard potential more strongly the species can undergo reduction and act as a strong oxidizing agent.
