Higher the oxidation potential better will be reducing power.

$C a < Z n < M g < N i$

$N i < Z n < M g < C a$

$Z n < M g < N i < C a$

$C a < M g < Z n < N i$

Higher the oxidation potential better will be reducing power.

Q. Consider the following reduction processes : Zn2+2e−⟶Zn(s);E∘=−0⋅76V Ca2+2e−⟶Ca(s);E∘=−2⋅87V Mg2++2e−⟶Mg(s);E∘=−2⋅36V Ni2+2e−⟶Ni(s);E∘=−0⋅25V The reducing power of the metals increases in the order:

Ca<Zn<Mg<Ni

Ni<Zn<Mg<Ca

Zn<Mg<Ni<Ca

Ca<Mg<Zn<Ni

Higher the oxidation potential better will be reducing power.

$C a < Z n < M g < N i$

$N i < Z n < M g < C a$

$Z n < M g < N i < C a$

$C a < M g < Z n < N i$
