The gas`X` at `1 atm` is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of `1MY^(c-)` and `1MZ^(c-)` at `25^(@)C` . If the order of reduction potential is `ZgtYgtX`, then

Options

A. `Y` will oxidize `X` only
B. `Y` will oxidize `Z` only
C. `Z` will oxidize `X` and `Y`
D. `Z` will reduce both `X` and `Y`

Answer

a,c

Explanation

`E^(c-)._(Z)` is highest `implies` Strongest oxidizing agent.
`E^(c-)._(X)` is lowest `implies` Wealest pxodozomg agent.
`implies Y` will oxidize `X` but not `Z`. Also will oxidize both `X` and `Y`.
