The reducing power of a metal depends on various factors. Suggest the factor which makes Li, the strongest reducing agent in aqueous solution.

A

Sublimation enthalpy

B

Ionisation enthalpy

C

Hydration enthalpy

D

Electron-gain enthalpy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hydration enthalpy is a measure of tendency of an element to lose electron in aqueous solution. Higher the negative, greater is the ability to lose electrons and strong reducing character in aqueous solution.
