A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1M `Y^(-)` and 1M `Z^(-)` at `25^(@)C`. If the reduction potential of `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

From the given data, we have following information
Z is reduced and Y is oxidised
Z is reduced and X is oxidised
Y is reduced and X is oxidised
Thus 'Y' will oxidise 'X' and it will not oxidise 'Z'.
