Reducing agents, question

Which of the following species is the strongest reducing agent? A. Cl2 B. Cu C. Mg2+ D. Zn D) Zn Reducing agents get oxidized, so we need to reverse the reactions in table 4.1. This eliminates choices A & C, because Cl2 and Mg2+ cannot oxidize further. Between Zn and Cu, the more favorable oxidation (reverse reaction from table 4.1) is found with zinc (0.76 > -0.34) My question: So Cl2... Reducing agents, question
