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

A

Y will oxidize X and not Z

B

Y will oxidize Z and not X

C

Y will oxidize both X and Z

D

Y will reduce both X and Z

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The given order of reduction potential is `Z gt Y gt X`. A spontaneous reaction will have the following characteristics
Z reduced and Y oxidized, Z reduced and X oxidised, Y reduced and X oxidized.
Hence, Y will oxidize X and not Z.
