Standard reduction potentials (\(\text{E}^{\circ}\)) of \(\text{Pb}^{2+}, \text{Ag}^+, \text{Cu}^{2+}\) and \(\text{Fe}^{2+}\) are \(-0.13 \text{ V}, +0.80 \text{ V}, +0.31 \text{ V},\) and \(-0.44 \text{ V}\) respectively. Which is the strongest reducing agent?
- A \(\text{Fe}^{2+}\)
- B \(\text{Cu}^{2+}\)
- C \(\text{Pb}^{2+}\)
- D \(\text{Ag}^{+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\text{Fe}^{2+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Strongest reducing agent has the most negative standard reduction potential. \(E^\circ\): \(-0.13 \text{ V}\), \(+0.80 \text{ V}\), \(+0.31 \text{ V}\), \(-0.44 \text{ V}\). Most negative \(E^\circ = -0.44 \text{ V}\) (for \(\text{Fe}^{2+}/\text{Fe}\)). Answer: \(\text{Fe}^{2+}\)

Carbohydrates such as cane sugar, glucose, starch etc. belong to a class of naturally occurring organic compounds. Structurally these are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Carbohydrates which are sweet in taste are called sugars. Theses sugars can be reducing or non-reducing. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler units whereas Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides yield large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. This class of biomolecules is essential for living systems as they serve as storage molecules in plants and animals. In addition, they provide raw materials for important industries like furniture, textiles, paper, lacquers and breweries. Two aldopentose form important constituents of nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides (Greek: sakcharon which means sugar). Sugar which is used in household and in milk also comes under this class of biomolecules.

In the formation of coordination complexes, if the inner \(d\) orbital \((n - 1)d\) is used in hybridisation, the complex, is called an inner orbital or low spin or spin paired complex. And if it uses outer \(d\) orbital \((nd)\) in hybridisation (like \(sp^3d^2\)), it is called outer orbital or high spin or spin free complex. The degeneracy of the \(d\) orbitals has been removed due to ligand electron-metal electron repulsions in the complex. This splitting of the degenerate levels due to the presence of ligands in a definite geometry is termed as crystal field splitting. For coordination complexes, the magnetic moment is determined by the number of unpaired electrons and is calculated by using the 'spin-only' formula, \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons and \(\mu\) is the magnetic moment in units of Bohr magneton \((BM)\). The coordination compounds are of great importance. These compounds are widely present in the mineral, plant and animal worlds and are known to play many important functions in the area of analytical chemistry, metallurgy, biological systems, industry and medicine.

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
