Which of the following is weakest oxidising agent ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
F2 + 2e– 
2F– e° = + 2.87 V ; Cl2 + 2e– 
2Cl– e° = + 1.36 V
Br2 + 2e – 
2Br –
e° = + 1.09 V ;
I2 + 2e– 
2I– e° = + 0.54 V
More the value of the SRP, more powerful is the oxidising agent. Hence the order of oxidising power is F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2.
