The standard reduction potential values of the three metallic cations $x, y, z$ are $0.52 \ V, -3.03 \ V$ and $-1.18 \ V$ respectively. The order of reducing power of their corresponding metals will be

What does the negative sign in the expression $E_{Zn^{2+}|Zn}^o = -0.76 \ V$ mean?

Given:
$E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr} = -0.74 \ V$,$E^o_{MnO_4^-/Mn^{2+}} = 1.51 \ V$
$E^o_{Cr_2O_7^{2-}/Cr^{3+}} = 1.33 \ V$,$E^o_{Cl_2/Cl^{-}} = 1.36 \ V$
Based on the data given above,the strongest oxidising agent will be:

The standard electrode potential $(E^o)$ of $Cu^{2+}/Cu$ is $+0.34 \, V$,while that of $Zn^{2+}/Zn$ is $-0.76 \, V$. Explain the reason for this difference.

Standard electrode potential of $Ag^{+}/Ag$ and $Cu^{2+}/Cu$ is $+0.80 \ V$ and $+0.34 \ V$ respectively. These electrodes are joined together by a salt bridge. If:

The standard reduction potentials at $298 \ K$ for the following half-reactions are given:
$Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \rightleftharpoons Zn_{(s)}; E^\circ = -0.762 \ V$
$Cr^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3e^- \rightleftharpoons Cr_{(s)}; E^\circ = -0.740 \ V$
$2H^+_{(aq)} + 2e^- \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)}; E^\circ = 0.00 \ V$
$Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^- \rightleftharpoons Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}; E^\circ = 0.770 \ V$
Which is the strongest reducing agent?
