AIIMS 2000 Chemistry Redox Reactions MCQ Question
A gas Z is bubbled through a solution containing X⁺ and Y⁻. If the reduction potential are in the order X > Y > Z, then
Y will oxidise Z and not X
Y will oxidise X and not Z
Y will oxidise both X and Z
Y will reduce both X and Z
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Y⁻ will oxidize Z because Z has a lower reduction potential than Y, but it will not oxidize X due to X's higher potential.
