A gas $X$ at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M ${y^ - }$ and 1 M ${z^ - }$ at ${25^ \circ }C$. If the order of reduction potential is $z > y > x$ then

$y$ will oxidize $z$ and not $x$

$y$ will reduce both $x$ and $z$

A gas

X

at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M

{y^ - }

and 1 M

{z^ - }

{25^ \circ }C

. If the order of reduction potential is

z > y > x

then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

y

will oxidize

x

and not

z

Option A (

y

will oxidize

x

and not

z

) is correct because y has a higher reduction potential than x, so it can oxidize x, but a lower reduction potential than z, so it cannot oxidize z.
