What is the relationship between standard electrode potential (Eo) and reducing power for alkali metals?
Options
- AHigher Eo indicates higher reducing power.
- BHigher Eo indicates lower reducing power.
- CEo and reducing power are not related.
- DEo remains constant for all alkali metals.
Correct answer
B. Higher Eo indicates lower reducing power.
Step-by-step solution
In the context of alkali metals, a more negative standard electrode potential (Eo) indicates higher reducing power. So, higher Eo values correspond to lower reducing power.
