What does a negative \(E ^{\circ}\) (standard reduction potential) value of a redox couple indicate?

  1. A Redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than couple \(H / H 2\) couple.
  2. B Redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the \(H / H 2\) couple.
  3. C Redox couple is a stronger oxidising agent than the \(H ^3 / H _2\) couple.
  4. D Redox couple carry equivalent oxidising power as \(H / H 2\) couple.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than couple \(H / H 2\) couple.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A negative \(E^{\circ}\) value indicates that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the \(H^+ / H_2\) couple.
