The lower the electrode potential, the stronger is the reducing agent. Therefore, the increasing order of the reducing power of the given metals is Ag < Hg < Cr < Mg < K.
Entropy is zero only at absolute zero. Enthalpy of formation is the heat change involved in the formation of one mole of the substance from its elements. An element formed...
Substances that are stronger oxidising agents than ferrous ions can oxidise ferrous ions.
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-1 ; Eø = - 0.77 V
This implies that the substances having higher reduction potentials than +0.77 V can...
The lower the reduction potential, the higher is the reducing power. The given standard electrode potentials increase in the order of K+/K < Mg2+/Mg < Cr3+/Cr < Hg2+/Hg < Ag+/Ag.
Hence,...
