Question

The reduction potential values of X, Y and Z are -3.05 V,-0.44 V and -0.83 V respectively. Which of the following order is correct with respect to their reducing property? (A)  X>Y>Z  (B)  X>Z>Y  (C)  Y>Z>X  (D) Z>Y>X

More negative value of reduction potential shows the stronger reducing nature.
The order of reduction potential values (with negative sign) of given elements is

(- 3.05) X > (- 0.83 V) Z > (- 0.44 V) Y

Thus, the order of reducing property is

X > Z > Y

Q. The reduction potential values of $X, Y$ and $Z$ are $- 3.05 V, - 0.44 V$ and $- 0.83 V$ respectively. Which of the following order is correct with respect to their reducing property?

$X > Y > Z$

$X > Z > Y$

$Y > Z > X$

$Z > Y > X$

More negative value of reduction potential shows the stronger reducing nature.
The order of reduction potential values (with negative sign) of given elements is
$(- 3.05) X > (- 0.83 V) Z > (- 0.44 V) Y$
Thus, the order of reducing property is $X > Z > Y$
