The correct order of reduction potentials of the following pairs is A. Cl 2 / Cl - B. I 2 / I - C. Ag + / Ag…

The correct order of reduction potentials of the following pairs is

A. Cl2/Cl-

B. I2/I-

C. Ag+/Ag

D. Na+/Na

E. Li+/Li

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  1. A>B>C>E>D
  2. A>C>B>E>D
  3. A>B>C>D>E
  4. A>C>B>D>E

Solution

 ECl2∣Cl−0=1.36E∘I2∣I−=0.54ELi+|Li=−3.05E∘Ag+∣Ag=0.80ENa+|Na=−2.71

So, we can clearly see the order of reduction potential.

A>C>B>D>E
