The E^(Theta) for Cl(2)//Cl^(-) is +1.36...

The `E^(Theta)` for `Cl_(2)//Cl^(-)` is `+1.36` for `I_(2)//I^(-)` is `+0.53, " for " Ag^(+)//Ag` is `+0.79, Na^(+)//Na` is `-2.71` and for `Li^(+)//Li` is `-3.04` Arrange the following ionic spects in decreasing order of reducing strength:
`I^(-), Ag, Cl^(-), Li, Na`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The more negative or less positive is the electrode potential , more is the reducing strength of the species . Since the electrode potentials increase in the order : `Li (-3*04 V) lt Na(-2*71 V) lt I^(-) (+0*53 V) lt Ag (+0*79 V) lt Cl^(-) (+1*36 V)` , therefore , the reducing strength decreases in the reverse order :
`Li gt Na gt I^(-) gt Ag gt Cl^(-)`
