1.	A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solutioncontaining a mixture of 1M Y^(-) nad 1M Z^(-)ionsat 25^(@)c if the reduction potentials of ZgtYgtX then
Answer» y will oxidize x but not z y will oxidise BOTHX andz y will oxidise z but not x y will reduce both x and z Solution :Higher the reduction potential STRONGER the oxidising agent since reduction potential DECREASE in the order `ZgtYgtY` therefore their oxidising power ALSO decrease in the same order HENCE y is a stronger oxidising agent than x but weaker than z therefore y can oxidise x but not z
