Q.
Standard reduction electrode potentials of three metals $A,\ B$ and $C$ are respectively + 0.5 V, $- \ 3.0$ V and – 1.2 V. The reducing powers of these metals are
A) $A > B > C$
B) $C > B > A$
C) $A > C > B$
D) $B > C > A$
Explanation
(d)
More the reduction potential, more is the power to get itself reduced or lesser is reducing power or greater is oxidizing power
