Standard electrode potentials of three metals A, B and C are + 0.5 V, – 3.0 V and – 1.2 V respectively. The reducing power of these metals is in the order
A
B > C > A
B
A > B > C
C
C > B > A
D
A > C > B
Answer
B > C > A
Explanation
Solution
A B C
Eored+0.5 V –3.0 V –1.2 V
The reducing power follows the following order : B > C > A.
