A gas X at 1 atm is bubblcd through a soluution containing a mixture of 1 M Y ^(-) and 1 M Z ^(-) at 25^(@)C. If the rcduction potential tial of Z gt Y gt X, then,

Answer»

Y will oxidize X and not Z
Y will oxidize Z and not X
Y will oxidize both X and Z
Y will reduce both X and Z

Solution :The given ORDER of reduction POTENTIALS (or tendencies) IS `ZGT Y gt X. A` spontacous reaction will have the followig characteristices
Z reduced andY oxidised
Z reduced and X oxidised
Y reduced and X oxidised
Hence, Y will oxidise X and not Z.
