Standard electrode potential of three metals X, Y and Z are -1.2 ~V ,+0.5 ~V and -3.0 ~V respectively. The reducing power of these metals will be
Options
- AY>X>Z
- BZ>X>Y
- CX>Y>Z
- DY>Z>X
Correct answer
B. Z>X>Y
Step-by-step solution
aligned & E_X^ =-1.2 ~V & E_Y^ =+0.5 ~V & E_Z^ =-3.0 ~V & Z>X>Y[ higher the reduction potential, aligned lesser the reducing power.
