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

The strength of a reducing agent is inversely proportional to its standard reduction potential (E°). More negative E° \(\rightarrow\) Stronger reducing agent. Given E° values: (A) \(Cu(s): E^{\circ}=+0.34 V\) (B) \(Sn(s): E^{\circ}=-0.14 V\) (C) \(Ag(s): E^{\circ}=+0.10 V\) (D)…
