Specie with highest reduction potential (i.e. highest willingness to get reduced) is strongest oxidizing agent.

Solution

Q.
The standard reduction potential values of some of the $p$ -block ions are given below. Predict the one with the strongest oxidising capacity. [2025]

1 $E_{{Sn}^{4 +} / {Sn}^{2 +}}^{⊝} = + 1.15 V$

2 $E_{{Pb}^{4 +} / {Pb}^{2 +}}^{⊝} = + 1.67 V$

3 $E_{{Tl}^{3 +} / Tl}^{⊝} = + 1.26 V$

4 $E_{{Al}^{3 +} / Al}^{⊝} = - 1.66 V$
