If the half-cell reaction A+e^(-)toA^(-)...

If the half-cell reaction `A+e^(-)toA^(-)` has a large negative reduction potentials, it follows that:

A

A is readily reduced

B

A is readily oxdised

C

`A^-` is readily reduced

D

A is readily oxidised

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Negative electrode potential (reduction potential ) indicates lesser tendency for the reduction. Hence A is readily oxidized.
