Standard electrode potential of three metals X,Y and Z are -1.2V, +0.5 V and -3.0V respectively. The reducing power of these metals will be

Answer»

`X gt Y gt Z`
`Y gt Z gt X`
`YgtXgtZ`
`ZgtXgtY`

Solution :Higher the reduction potential, more easily it is reduced and HENCE higher is its OXIDIZING POWER or less is its reducing power. As `E_(red)^(@)` are in the ORDER YgtXgtZ, their reducing power will be in the order ZgtXgtY.
