Given
Fe3+ (aq) + e- → Fe2+ (aq); Eo = +0.77 V
Al3+ (aq) + 3e- → Al(s); Eo = -1.66 V
Br2(aq) + 2e- → 2Br-(aq); Eo = +1.09 V
Considering the electrode potentials, which of the following represents the correct order of reducing power?
(a) Fe2+ < Al < Br-
(b) Br- < Fe2+ < Al
(c) Al < Br- < Fe2+
(d) Al < Fe2+ < Br-
