Question

The standard reduction electrode potential values of elements A, B, C are + 0.68, –2.50, and – 0.50 V respectively. The order of their reducing power is

(a) A >B > C

(b) A >C > B

(c) C > B > A

(d) B > C > A

Answer 1

The correct option: (d) B > C > A

Explanation:

More is the reduction potential, more is the power to get itself reduced or lesser is reducing power or greater is oxidizing power.
