Q. If the half cell reaction $A+e^{-} \rightarrow A^{-}$ has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that

Solution:

If the half cell reaction $A+e^{-} \rightarrow A^{-}$ has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that $A^{-}$ is readily oxidised as negative $E_{R P}^{o}$ means more $E_{O P}^{o}$ , i.e., more is the tendency to get itself oxidized.
