Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ .why?

plz ans in short

There are two reason for Cr³⁺ to be more reducing than Fe²⁺:

• The electrode reduction potential values are:
  • 
  • 
  • As we know that, the more negative the electrode potential greater is the reducing power of the electrode.
• The highest oxidation state for Cr is +6, therefore it can loose 3 more electrons, whereas Fe needs to loose only 1 electron to achieve its highest oxidation state of +3. Thus, Cr³⁺ is more reducing than Fe²⁺.
