The standard electrode potential of three metals X, Y and Z are \[\text{1}\text{.2 V,}\,\text{+}\,\,\text{0}\text{.5 V}\]and \[-\text{ 3}\text{.0}\,\text{V}\]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:
A
Solution :
Higher the reduction potential lesser the reducing power. Hence, \[Z>X>Y\]
