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) \(Sn ^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \operatorname{Sn}(s) \quad E^{\circ}=-0.14 V\)
(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

  1. A (B), (D), (C), (A)
  2. B (A), (C), (D), (B)
  3. C (C), (A), (B), (D)
  4. D (D), (B), (A), (C)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (B), (D), (C), (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E^{\circ}\) values: (A) \(Cu ^{2+}/Cu: 0.34 V\) (B) \(Sn ^{2+}/Sn: -0.14 V\) (C) \(AgBr/Ag, Br^{-}: 0.10 V\) (D) \(Pb ^{2+}/Pb: -0.13 V\) Decreasing order of reducing agent strength (more negative \(E^{\circ}\) means stronger reducing agent): (B) \(Sn (s) \quad (-0.14 V)\) (D)…
