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 oxidise `X` and not `Z`
B. `Y` will oxidise `Z` and not `X`
C. `Y` will oxidise both `X` and `Z`
D. `Y` will reduce both `X` and `Z`

Answer

A

Explanation

`E_(RP_(Z//Z^(-)))^(@) gt E_(RP_(Y//Y^(-)))^(@) gt E_(RP_(X//X^(-)))^(@)`
Thus order of oxidizing power will be `Z gt Y gt X`
