Consider the following recuction processes
Zn2++2e-→Zn(s);E°=-0.76V
Ca2++2e-→Ca(s);E°=-2.87V
Mg2++2e-→Mg(s);E°=-2.36V
Ni2++2e-→Ni(s);E°=-0.25V
The reduction power of the metals increases in the order

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Reducing power∝Tendency to undergo oxidation
∝ 1 reduction potential values
so, reducing power decreases as Ca > Mg > Zn > Ni
