Given information
Here in this question we are given four metal cations :
and we need to find out which is the best oxidizing agent out of all four.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The strength of an oxidizing agent is measured by the ease with which it can attract and gain electrons; easier the reduction of a specimen, better the oxidizing agent.
In other words, the half-reaction with the more positive electrode potential attracts electrons more strongly and undergoes reduction. So, the cation corresponding to the greater reduction potential is a better oxidizing agent.
