Questions
The standard potentials at 298 K are
and
Which is the strongest reducing agent?
detailed solution
Correct option is A
The smaller the value of reduction potential, lesser the reduction tendency of the ion and larger the oxidation tendency of the corresponding metal. Larger oxidation tendency implies stronger reducing agent.
A reducing agent is a substance that undergoes oxidation to a higher valency state in a redox reaction and loses electrons to other substances in the process. In an oxidation-reduction process, a reducing agent is one of the reactants that reduces another reactant by discharging electrons onto it.
