Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reducing power of a metal is determined by its standard electrode potential $(E^{\circ})$. $A$ more negative $E^{\circ}$ value indicates a stronger reducing agent,while a less negative (or more positive) $E^{\circ}$ value indicates a weaker reducing agent.The standard electrode potentials $(E^{\circ})$ for the given alkali metals are as follows:Metal Ion/Metal$E^{\circ}$ (in Volts)$Li^{+}/Li$$-3.05$$Na^{+}/Na$$-2.71$$K^{+}/K$$-2.93$$Cs^{+}/Cs$$-2.92$Comparing the values,$Na$ has the least negative $E^{\circ}$ value $(-2.71 \ V)$. Therefore,$Na$ is the weakest reducing agent among the given options.

Which one of the following alkali metals is the weakest reducing agent as per their $E^{\circ}$ values?
