Standard electrode potential of three metals A, B and C are respectively 0.5 V, -3 V and -1.2 V. Reducing power of these metals would be
Detailed Explanation:
Reducing power is inversely related to standard electrode potential (E°) — the more negative the E°, the stronger the reducing agent.
Metal B (−3.0 V) has the most negative potential → highest reducing power. Metal C (−1.2 V) is moderately negative → intermediate reducing power. Metal A (+0.5 V) is positive → lowest reducing power. Order: B > C > A.
