JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

The standard reduction potential values of some of the p-block ions are given below. Predict the one with the strongest oxidising capacity.

  1. A \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Pb}^{4+} / \mathrm{Pb}^{2+}}^{\ominus}=+1.67 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Sn}^{4+} / \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}}^{\ominus}=+1.15 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Al}^{3+} / \mathrm{Al}}^{\ominus}=-1.66 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Tl}^{3+}\mathrm{/Tl}}^{\ominus}=1.26 \mathrm{~V}\)
