Lithinum is the strogest reductant in aqueous solutions. Why ? |
| Answer» Solution :STANDARD potential for the reaction `Li_((aq))^(+) +e^(-) rarr (Li)_((s))` is `-3.05` V. It is least AMONG all reduction potentials. This is because of high stability of aqueous LITHIUM cation due to GREATER hydration. Smaller the reduction potential is the reduction ability of the METAL. | |
