Question
$\text{E}^\circ_\frac{\text{Zn}^{2+}}{\text{Zn}}=-0.76\text{V}$
$\text{E}^\circ_\frac{\text{Cr}^{2+}}{\text{Cr}}=-0.74$
$\text{E}^\circ_\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}=0$
$\text{E}^\circ_\frac{\text{Fe}^{3+}}{\text{Fe}^{3+}}=0.77\text{V}$
Which is the strongest oxidising agent out of them?

Answer

$\text{Fe}^{3+}$ is strongest oxidising agent because it has highest standard reduction potential.
