    Consider the following reduction processes:
    \[Z{{n}^{2}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Zn\left( s \right);\text{ }E{}^\circ =-\,0.76V\]
    \[C{{a}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Ca\left( s \right);\text{ }E{}^\circ =-\,2.87\,V\]
    \[M{{g}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Mg\left( s \right);\text{ }E{}^\circ =-\,2.36\,V\]
    \[N{{i}^{2}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Ni\left( s \right);\text{ }E{}^\circ =-\,0.25\,V\]
    The reducing power of the metals increases in the order: [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) \[Ca<Mg<Zn<Ni\]

    B)                  \[Ni<Zn<Mg<Ca\]

    C)                  \[Zn<Mg<Ni<Ca\]

    D)                  \[Ca<Zn<Mg<Ni\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Higher is the oxidation potential better is the tendency to get oxidised and better is the reducing power \[\therefore \,\,\,\text{ }Ni<Zn<Mg<Ca\] is the correct reducing power of the metal
