Which is a stronger reducing agent cr+3 and Fe+2 and why? |
|
Answer» now that, the more negative the electrode potential GREATER is the reducing POWER of the electrode. The HIGHEST oxidation state for Cr 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, Cr3+ is more reducing than Fe2+. |
