Consider the following oxidizing agents, acting in acidic aqueous solution, under standard conditions:

Cl2, Fe3+, H2O2, Sn4+

Their oxidizing ability is in the order:

  • A. Cl2 > H2O2   > Fe3+ > Sn4+
  • B. H2O2 > Cl2 > Sn4+ > Fe3+
  • C. Sn4+ > Fe3+ > Cl2 > H2O2   
  • D. H2O2 > Cl2 > Fe3+ > Sn4+
  • E. Fe3+ > Cl2 > Sn4+ > H2O2

Answer #1

OPTION D

In acidic medium H2O2 is powerful oxidising agent with E0 value +1.78 and Cl2 follows with SRP = +1.36, then Fe+3 with +0.77 and Sn+4 the least with 0.15 V .

Thus H2O2 > Cl2 > Fe+3 > Sn+4
