Match the items of Column I and Column II on the basis of the data given below (one to one match only): E C l 2 /C l − ∘ = 1.36 V, E N a + /Na ∘ = -2.71 V, E A g + /Ag ∘ = 0.80 V, E I 2 / I

Question

Match the items of Column I and Column II on the basis of the data given below (one to one match only):

$E_{C l_{2} /C l^{-}}^{\circ}$ = 1.36 V, $E_{N a^{+} /Na}^{\circ}$ = -2.71 V, $E_{A g^{+} /Ag}^{\circ}$ = 0.80 V, $E_{I_{2} / I^{-}}^{\circ}$ = 0.54 V

Column I	Column II
(i) $Na^{+}$	(P) anion that can be oxidised by $Ag^{+}$
(ii) $I^{-}$	(Q) non metal which is the best oxidising agent
(iii) $Cl_{2}$	(R) metal which is the strongest reducing agent
(iv) Ag	(S) anion which is the weakest reducing agent
(v) $Cl^{-}$	(T) unreactive metal
(vi) Na	(U) metal ion which is an oxidising agent
(vii) $Ag^{+}$	(V) metal ion which is the weakest oxidising agent

Na + is the hardest to reduce: weakest oxidising metal ion, (i)-(V). I − is oxidised by Ag + since 0.80 > 0.54, (ii)-(P). Cl 2 ​ has the highest potential: best non-metal oxidising agent, (iii)-(Q). Ag is unreactive, (iv)-(T). Cl − is the hardest to oxidise: weakest reducing anion, (v)-(S). ( Ag + cannot oxidise it, 0.80 < 1.36.) Na is the strongest reducing metal, (vi)-(R). Ag + is an oxidising metal ion, (vii)-(U). Correct matching: (i)→(V); (ii)→(P); (iii)→(Q); (iv)→(T); (v)→(S); (vi)→(R); (vii)→(U). Answer: (C).
