Metal A,B and C has reduction potentials, 0.34 volt, -0.80 volt and -0.46 volt respectively. So give order of their capacity as reducing agent.

Options

A. `C gt A gt B`
B. `AgtBgtC`
C. `BgtCgtA`
D. `CgtBgtA`

Answer

C

Explanation

So, order of reducing agent is : `B gt C gt A`
Metal with less reduction potential `(E_(red)^(@))` will liberate electrons and easily get oxidized. Hence, it is strongest reducing agent.
