The standard reduction potential for Li^(+)//Li,Zn^(2+)//Zn,H^(+)//H_(2) and Ag^(+)//Ag is -3.05, -0.762, 0.00 and +0.80V. Which of the following has highest reducing capacity

Answer»

Ag
`H_(2)` is anode and `Cu` is cathode
`Zn`
`Li`

SOLUTION :`E^(o)=-3.05Li^(+)//Li` is most negative (minimum) and hence Li has MAXIMUM TENDENCY to LOSE electrons or it I the STRONGEST reducing agent.
