The standard electrode potentials `(E_(M^(+)//M)^(@))` of four metals A,B,C and D are `-1.2 v, 0.6 V, 0.85 V and- 0.76` V, respectively. The sequence of deposition of metals on applying potential is:

Options

A. A,C,B,D
B. B,D,C,A
C. C,B,D,A
D. D,A,B,C

Answer

C

Explanation

As the value of reduction potential decreases the reducing power increases i.e.
`C lt B lt D lt A`
`(0.85), (0.6),(-0.76)(-1.2)`
