The standard electrode potential of Zn, Ag and Cu are -0.76 , 0.80...
The standard electrode potential of Zn, Ag and Cu are , and volt respectively, then identify the correct statement from following.
Options
- AAg can oxidise Zn and Cu
- BAg can reduce and
- CZn can reduce and
- DCu can oxidise Zn and Ag
Correct answer
C. Zn can reduce and
Step-by-step solution
Given standard reduction potentials:
A species with a lower standard reduction potential acts as a stronger reducing agent. Since Zn has the lowest standard reduction potential among the given metals, it has the highest tendency to get oxidized.
Therefore, Zn acts as a strong reducing agent and can reduce both and ions.
