The standard reduction potential values of three metallic cations, X, Y, Z are 0.5, –3.03 and – 1.18 V respectively. The order of reducing power of the corresponding metals is :

Options

A. Y gt Z gt X
B. XgtYgtZ
C. Z gtY gt X
D. Z gt X gt Y

Explanation

To determine the order of reducing power of the metals corresponding to the cations X, Y, and Z based on their standard reduction potentials, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Standard Reduction Potentials
We have the following standard reduction potentials for the cations:
- X: +0.5 V
- Y: -3.03 V
- Z: -1.18 V
