Answer (2) Strongest oxidizing agent => Highest reduction potential Out of the given values, Mg has the highest reduction potential 28. Answer (4) a Cr —> Cr°S (Oxidizing agent) Ni — Ni* (Reducing agent) ie. Ni acts as reducing agent since if reduces Cr°® to Cr°* 29. Answer (1) CO, cannot act as a reducing agent because to reduce others, it itself has to get oxidized. This is not possible because carbon is already in its highest possible oxidation state. 30.
