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
- AY > Z > X
- BY > X > Z
- CZ > X > Y
- DX > Y > Z
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
As the electrode potential drops, reducing
power increases.
So, Z (–3.0 V) > X (–1.2 V) > Y (+ 0.5 V)
