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

A

`Y` will oxidize `X` and not `Z`

B

`Y` will oxidize `Z` and not `X`.

C

`Y` will oxidize both `X` and `Z`.

D

`Y` will reduct both `X` and `Z`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
The smaller the reduction potential of a substance, the more is its reducing power.
The givern order of reduction potential is `ZgtYgtX.`
The order of oxidizing power is `ZgtYgtX.`
Therefore, `Y` will oxidize `X` and not `Z`.
