Given:

$C{o^{3 + }}{e^ - } \longrightarrow C{o^{2 + }};\,{E^o} = 1.81\,V$

$P{b^4} + 2{e^ - } \longrightarrow P{b^{2 + }};\,{E^o} =  + 1.67\,V$

$C{e^{4 + }} + {e^ - } \longrightarrow C{e^{3 + }};\,{E^o} =  + 1.61\,V$

$B{i^{3 + }} + 3{e^ - } \longrightarrow Bi;\,{E^o} =  + 0.20\,V$

Oxidizing power of the species will increase in the order

  • A
    $C{e^{4 + }} < P{b^{4 + }} < B{i^{3 + }} < C{o^{3 + }}$
  • B
    $C{o^{3 + }} < P{b^{4 + }} < C{e^{4 + }} < B{i^{3 + }}$
  • $B{i^{3 + }} < C{e^{4 + }} < P{b^{4 + }} < C{o^{3 + }}$
  • D
    $C{o^{3 + }} < C{e^{4 + }} < B{i^{3 + }} < P{b^{4 + }}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$B{i^{3 + }} < C{e^{4 + }} < P{b^{4 + }} < C{o^{3 + }}$
c
Lower the standard reduction potential, more the ability to get reduced higher the oxidizing power
