The standard $E_{\text {red }}^{\circ}$ values of $A, B$ and $C$ are $+0.68 \mathrm{~V},-2.54 \mathrm{~V},-0.50 \mathrm{~V}$ respectively. The order of their reducing power is

  • A
    $A>B>C$
  • B
    $A>C>B$
  • C
    $C>B>A$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $B>C>A$

Solution

Reducing character is based upon higher negative value of reduction electrode potential. Thus, order of reducing character is $$ B>C>A $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
