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.

The correct Answer is:
To arrange the metals in increasing order of their reducing power based on their standard electrode potentials, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Reducing Power The reducing power of a metal is inversely related to its standard electrode potential (E°). A more negative E° indicates a stronger tendency to lose electrons (be oxidized), thus making it a better reducing agent. ### Step 2: List the Given Standard Electrode Potentials We have the following standard electrode potentials: - \( K^+ // K = -2.93 \, V \) - \( Ag^+ // Ag = 0.80 \, V \) - \( Cu^{2+} // Cu = 0.34 \, V \) - \( Mg^{2+} // Mg = -2.37 \, V \) - \( Cr^{3+} // Cr = -0.74 \, V \) - \( Fe^{2+} // Fe = -0.44 \, V \) ### Step 3: Arrange the Metals by Their E° Values To find the increasing order of reducing power, we will arrange the metals from the most positive E° to the most negative E°: 1. \( Ag^+ // Ag = 0.80 \, V \) (most positive) 2. \( Cu^{2+} // Cu = 0.34 \, V \) 3. \( Fe^{2+} // Fe = -0.44 \, V \) 4. \( Cr^{3+} // Cr = -0.74 \, V \) 5. \( Mg^{2+} // Mg = -2.37 \, V \) 6. \( K^+ // K = -2.93 \, V \) (most negative) ### Step 4: Determine the Order of Reducing Power Now, we can determine the order of reducing power by reversing the order of E° values: - Strongest reducing agent (most negative E°): \( K \) - Next: \( Mg \) - Next: \( Cr \) - Next: \( Fe \) - Next: \( Cu \) - Weakest reducing agent (most positive E°): \( Ag \) ### Final Order of Reducing Power Thus, the metals arranged in increasing order of their reducing power are: 1. \( Ag \) 2. \( Cu \) 3. \( Fe \) 4. \( Cr \) 5. \( Mg \) 6. \( K \)

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.
