NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
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 :
Ce⁴⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺ < Co³⁺
Bi³⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Co³⁺
Co³⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺ < Pb⁴⁺
Co³⁺ < Pb⁴⁺ < Ce⁴⁺ < Bi³⁺
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The oxidizing power is determined by the standard reduction potential, with higher values indicating stronger oxidizing agents.
