Question

A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of M Y − and M Z − at 2 5 ∘ C . If the reduction potential of Z > Y > X , then,

TestHub · Accepted Answer

X will reduce Y − to Y . Since Z has a higher reduction potential than Y , Y cannot reduce Z − . Thus, Y will oxidize X and not Z. Correct option: A
