<u>Answer:</u> The strongest oxidizing agent is silver.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions and reduction reaction is the reaction in which an atom gains electrons.

The substance having highest positive reduction E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction easily.

We are given:

Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);E^o =-0.76V

Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Mg(s);E^o =-2.37V

Ag^{+}(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o =+0.80V

As, silver has the highest positive reduction potential. So, it will be the strongest oxidizing agent.

Hence, the strongest oxidizing agent is silver.

Ocean currents determine the various directions of wind movement.

<h3>What is ocean current?</h3>

Ocean currents are caused by differences in density as well as the temperature of the moving winds across the ocean. In the ocean, warm water is found at the top while cooler water occurs far below.

Warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. The ocean currents control the direction of winds in an area.
