Question

$E^{\circ}$ for $Cl_2/Cl^- = +1.36$, $I_2/ I^- = +0.53$, $Ag^+/Ag = +0.79$, $Na^+/ Na = -2.71$ and $Li^+/ Li = -3.04\, V$. What is the order of decreasing reducing strength for these species?

• A. $Li > Cl^{-} >Ag > I^{-} >Na$
• B. $Li > Na >I^{-} > Ag >Cl^{-}$
• C. $Cl^{-} > Ag > I^{-} > Na > Li$
• D. $Na > Li > Ag >Cl^{-} > I^{-}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The order is $Li > Na > I^- > Ag > Cl ^-$
