A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M Y ⁻ and 1 M Z ⁻ at 25^ C . If the reduction potential is Z>Y>X , then
Options
- AY will oxidise X and not Z
- BY will oxidise Z and not X
- CY will oxidise both X and Z
- DY will reduce both X and Z
Correct answer
A. Y will oxidise X and not Z
Step-by-step solution
The more the reduction potential, the more the oxidising power.
