Question

The standard electrode potentials are K⁺/K= -2.93V, Ag⁺/Ag = 0.80 V, so

• A. Ag has a higher tendency to undergo reduction.
• B. Ag⁺ has a higher tendency to undergo reduction.
• C. K⁺ has a higher tendency to undergo reduction.
• D. K has a higher tendency to undergo reduction.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Ag⁺ has a higher tendency to undergo reduction.

Ag⁺ has a higher tendency to undergo reduction because it has higher electrode reduction potential.
