The standard electrode potential (E°) values of  Al3+/ Al,  Ag+ / Ag, K+ / K,  and Cr3+ / Cr are –1.66 V, 0.80 V, –2.93 V, & –0.79 V respectively. The correct decreasing order of the reducing power of the metal is:

1. Ag > Cr > Al > K 2. K > Al > Cr > Ag
3. K > Al > Ag > Cr 4. Al > K > Ag > Cr

(a) \(E_{k^+/K}^o = - 2.93\ V\); \(E_{Ag^+/Ag}^o = 0.80\ V\)
(b) \(E_{Hg^{2+}/Hg}^o = 0.79\ V\); \(E_{Mg^{2+}/Mg}^o = - 2.37\ V\)  
(c) \(E_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}^o = -0.74\ V\)

Based on standard electrode potentials given above, the correct arrangement for increasing order of reducing power of
elements is: 

1. \(\mathrm{Ag}<\mathrm{Hg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{K} \)
2. \(\mathrm{Ag}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Hg}>\mathrm{K}\)
3. \(\mathrm{K}>\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Hg}>\mathrm{Ag} \)
4. \(\mathrm{K}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Hg}<\mathrm{Ag}\)
