The standard reduction potentials (in $V$) of a few metal ion/metal electrodes are given below: $Cr^{3+}/Cr = -0.74$; $Cu^{2+}/Cu = +0.34$; $Pb^{2+}/Pb = -0.13$; $Ag^{+}/Ag = +0.8$. The reducing strength of the metals follows the order:

  • A
    $Ag > Cu > Pb > Cr$
  • B
    $Cr > Pb > Cu > Ag$
  • C
    $Pb > Cr > Ag > Cu$
  • D
    $Cr > Ag > Cu > Pb$

On the basis of the following $E^o$ values,the strongest oxidizing agent is:
$[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \to [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} + e^-; E^o = -0.35 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+} + e^-; E^o = -0.77 \ V$
