Electrochemistry - Result Question 34
####36. 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 :
[2011]
(a) $Y>Z>X$
(b) $X>Y>Z$
(c) $Z>X>Y$
(d) $X>Y>Z$
[2011]
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) As the value of standard reduction potential decreases the reducing power increases i.e.,
$ \underset{(-3.0)}{Z}>\underset{(-1.2)}{X}>\underset{(+0.5)}{Y} $
