Consider the following reduction processes :
The tendency to act as reducing agent decreases in the order :
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Reducing agent strength is determined by oxidation potential (opposite sign of reduction potential). Stronger reducing agents have more negative oxidation potentials (easier to oxidize).
Oxidation potentials:
has 
(strongest reducing agent);
has 
;
has 
;
has 
(weakest reducing agent).
Order of decreasing reducing agent tendency: 
.
