NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Given :

Co³⁺ + e⁻ → Co²⁺ ; E° = +1.81 V

Pb⁴⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb²⁺ ; E° = +1.67 V

Ce⁴⁺ + e⁻ → Ce³⁺ ; E° = +1.61 V

Bi³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Bi ; E° = +0.20 V

Oxidizing power of the species will increase in the order :

A

Ce⁴⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺ < Co³⁺

B

Bi³⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Co³⁺

C

Co³⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺ < Pb⁴⁺

D

Co³⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The oxidizing power is determined by the standard reduction potential, with higher values indicating stronger oxidizing agents.
