The reduction potential values are given...

The reduction potential values are given below
`AI^(3_)//AI =- 1.67 "volt" Mg^(2+)//Mg =- 2.34 "volt" Cu^(2+)//Cu = +0.34` volt
`I_(2)//2I^(-) = +0.53` volt. Which one is the best reducing agenet?

A

`AI`

B

`Mg`

C

`Cu`

D

`I_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Reducing agent, reduces other & get oxidized self higher negative value of `Mg^(2+)//Mg` indicates its tendency to get oxidized.
