The standard electrode potential of three metals \[X,\,\,\,Y\] and \[Z\] are \[-1.2\,\,V,\,\,+0.5\,\,V\] and \[-\,\,3.0\,\,V\] respectively. The reducing power of these metals will be
A)\[X>Y>Z\]
B)\[Y>Z>X\]
C)\[Y>X>Z\]
D)\[Z>X>Y\]
Correct Answer:
D
Solution :
Higher the reduction potential lesser the reducing power Hence, \[Z>X>Y\]
