NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
Reduction potentials of some ions are given below. Arrange them in decreasing order of oxidising power.
ClO₄⁻ > IO₄⁻ > BrO₄⁻
IO₄⁻ > BrO₄⁻ > ClO₄⁻
BrO₄⁻ > IO₄⁻ > ClO₄⁻
BrO₄⁻ > ClO₄⁻ > IO₄⁻
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Higher reduction potential indicates stronger oxidizing power. ClO₄⁻ has the highest reduction potential, followed by IO₄⁻ and BrO₄⁻.
