70ᵗʰ B.P.S.C Re-Exam 2024
Standard electrode potential of three metals A, B and C are respectively 0.5 V, -3 V and -1.2 V. Reducing power of these metals would be
aA > C > B
bB > C > A✓ Correct
cC > B > A
dNone of the above
Explanation
The more negative the standard electrode potential of a metal, the stronger its reducing power. Therefore: Metal Standard electrode potential A 0.5 V B –3 V C –1.2 V Hence, the reducing power is: B > C > A
