To arrange the given metals in their increasing order of reducing power based on their standard electrode potentials, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Reducing Power Reducing power refers to the ability of a substance to donate electrons (be oxidized). The more negative the standard electrode potential (E°), the stronger the reducing agent. Therefore, we need to consider the standard electrode potentials given for each metal. ### Step 2: List the Given Standard Electrode Potentials The standard electrode potentials provided are: - \( K^+ | K = -2.93 \, V \) ...

Given that the standard elctrode potentials (E^(Theta)) of metals are: K^(+)//K= -2.93V, Ag^(+)//g=0.80V , Cu^(2+)//Cu=0.34V, Mg^(2+)//Mg=-2.37V , Cr^(3+)//Cr= -0.74V, Fe^(2+)//Fe= -0.44V . Arrange these metals in an increasing order of their reducing power.

Given that the standard electrode (E^(@)) of metals are : K^(+)//K=- 2.93 V, Ag^(+)//Ag = 0.80 V, Mg^(2+)//Mg =- 2.37 V, Cr^(3+)// Cr =- 0.74 V, Hg^(2+)//Hg = 0.79 V . Arrange these metals in an increasing order of their reducing power.

The potential associated. with each electrode is known as electrode potential. If the concentration of each species taking part in the electrode reaction is unity (if any gås appears in the electrode reaction, it is confined to 1 atmospheric pressure) and further the reaction is carried out at 298 K, then the potential of each electrode is said to be the standard electrode potential. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen electrode is 0:0 volt. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure, of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidized / reduced form. A negative E^@ means that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the H^(+)//H_2 couple. A positive E mears that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than. the H^(+)//H couple. The metal with greater positive value of standard reduction potentlal forms the oxide of greater thermal stability: Given the standard reduction potentials.
