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.
