The reducing power of a metal depends on various factors. Suggest the factor which makes Li, the strongest reducing agent in aqueous solution.A. Sublimation enthalpyB. Ionisation enthylpyC. Hydration enthalpyD. Electron-gain enthalpy

Answer» Correct Answer - C
With small size of `Li^(+)` ion, lithium has the highest hydration enthalpy which accounts for its higgh negative `E^(@)` value and its high reducing power.
