Red hot carbon will remove oxygen from the oxides `XO` and `YO` but not from `ZO.Y` will remove oxygen from `XO`. Use this evidence to deduce the order of activity of the three metals `X,Y,` and `Z,` putting the most reactive first.

A

`X,Y,Z`

B

`Z,Y,X`

C

`Y,X,Z`

D

`Z,X,Y`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Carbon is a powerful reducing agent from `X` and `Y` but not from `Z.Y` is more reactive than `X`.
Therefore, reactivity series `: ZgtYgtX.`
