उत्तर
A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 MY− and 1 MZ− at 25°C. If the reduction potential of Z > Y > X, then Y will oxidise X and not Z.
Explanation:
A species can oxidise another if it has a higher reduction potential.
\[\ce{E^{\circ}_{Z} > E^{\circ}_{Y} > E^{\circ}_{X}}\]
So, Y− can oxidise X (since Y has a higher reduction potential than X), but cannot oxidise Z, because Z has an even higher reduction potential than Y. Hence, Y will oxidise X and not Z.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
