Standard reduction potentials are listed at 25°C.
According to the table, which species is the strongest oxidizing agent?
- A
Zn²⁺
- Bcheck_circle
F₂
- C
Cu²⁺
- D
Li⁺
Explanation
The most positive reduction potential identifies the strongest oxidizing agent; F₂ at +2.87 V is most easily reduced and thus the best oxidizer.
