Consider the following reduction processes

Zn2++2e-→Zns; Eo=-0.76 V

Ca2++2e-→Cas; Eo=-2.87 V

Mg2++2e-→Mgs; Eo=-2.36 V

Ni2++2e-→Nis; Eo=-0.25 V

The reduction power of the metals increases in the order

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Reducing power∝Tendency to undergo oxidation
∝1reduction potential values
So, reducing power decreases asCa>Mg>Zn>Ni
