Question

The gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M Y-and 1 M Z -at 25° C. If the order of reduction potential is Z >Y >X, then (A) Y will oxidise X but not Z (B) Y will oxidise both X and Z (C) Y will oxidise Z but not X (D) Y will reduce both X and Z

Higher the value of reduction potential, stronger the oxidising agent. ∵ E°:Z > Y> X ⇒ Y will oxidise X but not Z.

Q. The gas $X$ at $1 a t m$ is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of $1 M Y^{-}$ and $1 M Z^{-}$ at $2 5^{\circ} C$ . If the order of reduction potential is $Z > Y > X$ , then

$Y$ will oxidise $X$ but not $Z$

$Y$ will oxidise both $X$ and $Z$

$Y$ will oxidise $Z$ but not $X$

$Y$ will reduce both $X$ and $Z$

Higher the value of reduction potential, stronger the oxidising agent.
$∵ E^{\circ} : Z > Y > X$
$\Rightarrow$ $Y$ will oxidise $X$ but not $Z$ .

Q. The gas X at 1atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1MY−and 1MZ−at 25∘C. If the order of reduction potential is Z>Y>X, then

Y will oxidise X but not Z

Y will oxidise both X and Z

Y will oxidise Z but not X

Y will reduce both X and Z
