Question

If the half-cell reaction A + e^– → A^– has a large negative reduction potential, it follow that:-

पर्याय

• A is readily oxidised

• A is readily reduced

• A^– is readily oxidised

• A^– is readily reduced

Answer 1

A^– is readily oxidised

Explanation:

As we know,

`E_(OP)^circ = - E_(RP)^circ` = + ve. Large positive value means it has high tendency to oxidise.
