Q8

The standard reduction potentials at 298 K for single electrodes are given below. Electrode Electrode potential (volt) Mg2+ /Mg -2.34 Zn2+ /Zn -0.76 Fe2+ /Fe -0.44 From this we can infer that

The standard reduction potentials at 298 K for single electrodes are given below.
Electrode Electrode potential (volt)
Mg2+ /Mg -2.34
Zn2+ /Zn -0.76
Fe2+ /Fe -0.44
From this we can infer that
A.
Zn can reduce both Mg2+ and Fe2+
B.
Fe can reduce both Mg2+ and Zn2+
C.
Mg can reduce both Zn2+ and Fe2+
