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_y^ =-1.2 ~V & E_x^ =+0.5 ~V & E_z^ =-3.0 ~V aligned Higher the reduction potential, lesser the reducing power. Order of reducing power is Z X Y
