Question

Arrange $Z n$ , $P b$ and $A l$ in the increasing order of their reducing powers under standard conditions.
Given: $E_{Z n^{2 +} | Z n}^{0} = - 0.76 V, E_{P b^{2 +} | P b}^{0} = - 0.13 V$
$E_{A l^{3 +} | A l}^{0} = - 1.66 V$

Z n < A l < P b

Solution

The correct option is D $P b < Z n < A l$
Reducing power $\propto \frac{1}{Reduction potential}$
So going by the given numerical values of reduction potential at standard conditions, $A l > Z n > P b$ is the order of reducing power.
