MCQ
If the half cell reaction $A + {e^ - } \to \,{A^ - }$ has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that
- A$A$ is readily reduced
- B$A$ is readily oxidised
- C${A^ - }$ is readily reduced
- ✓${A^ - }$ is readily oxidised
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
${A^ - }$ is readily oxidised
d
(d)Since $E_{A/{A^ - }}^o$has large negative value, the tendency of $A$ to be reduced to ${A^ - }$ is very small. In other words tendency of ${A^ - }$to be oxidized to $ A$ is very large.
(d)Since $E_{A/{A^ - }}^o$has large negative value, the tendency of $A$ to be reduced to ${A^ - }$ is very small. In other words tendency of ${A^ - }$to be oxidized to $ A$ is very large.
