Q.

The standard electrode potential (E°) values of Al3+/Al, Ag+/Ag, K+/K, and Cr3+/Cr are -1.66 V0.80 V-2.93 V and -0.74 V, respectively. The correct decreasing order of reducing power of the metal is                 [2019]

1 Ag > Cr > Al > K  
2 K > Al > Cr > Ag  
3 K > Al > Ag > Cr  
4 Al > K > Ag > Cr  

Ans.

Higher the value of Ered, stronger is the oxidising power. Thus, the decreasing order of reducing power of the metal is K > Al > Cr > Ag.
