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-

Correct answer: (d) Al < Fe2+ < Br-

Explanation:

Reducing character decreases down the series. Hence the correct order is Al < Fe2+ < Br-
