Electrochemistry - Result Question 16
####16. The gas $X$ at $1 atm$ is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of $1 M^{-}$and $1 MZ^{-}$at $25^{\circ} C$. If the order of reduction potential is $Z>Y>X$, then
$(1999,2 M)$
(a) $Y$ will oxidise $X$ and not $Z$
(b) $Y$ will oxidise $Z$ and not $X$
(c) $Y$ will oxidise both $X$ and $Z$
(d) $Y$ will reduce both $X$ and $Z$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 16. (10)
Solution:
- Higher the value of reduction potential, stronger the oxidising agent.
$$ \because \quad E^{\circ}: Z>Y>X $$
$\Rightarrow \quad Y$ will oxidise $X$ but not $Z$.
