Arrange the following electrodes in decreasing order of the strength of the respective ions as reducing agent.
(A) \(Cu ^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow Cu ( s ) \quad E^{\circ}=0.34 V\)
(B) \(Sn ^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow Sn (s) \quad E^{\circ}=-0.14 V\)
(C) \(AgBr (s)+e^{-} \rightarrow Ag (s)+ Br ^{-} \quad E^{\circ}=0.10 V\)
(D) \(Pb ^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow Pb (s) \quad E^{\circ}=-0.13 V\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A (B), (D), (C), (A)
- B (A), (C), (D), (B)
- C (C), (A), (B), (D)
- D (D), (B), (A),(C)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) (B), (D), (C), (A)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The strength of a reducing agent is inversely proportional to the standard reduction potential (\(E^\circ\)) of its oxidized form. Smaller (more negative) \(E^\circ\) corresponds to a stronger reducing agent. \(E^\circ\) values for the reducing agents: (B) \(Sn (s)\):…
