Consider the following reduction processes:
\(Al^{3+} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Al(s), E^{\circ} = -1.66 V\)
\(Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}, E^{\circ} = +0.77 V\)
\(Co^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Co^{2+}, E^{\circ} = +1.81 V\)
\(Cr^{3+} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr(s), E^{\circ} = -0.74 V\)
The tendency to act as reducing agent decreases in the order:
- A \(Al > Cr > Fe^{2+} > Co^{2+}\)
- B \(Al > Fe^{2+} > Cr > Co^{2+}\)
- C \(Al > Cr > Co^{2+} > Fe^{2+}\)
- D \(Cr > Fe^{2+} > Al > Co^{2+}\)
