1Y will act both as reducing and oxidising agent .
(b).
Q. There are four compounds X,Y,Z,W whose standard reduction potentials are -0.8V, 0V, 0.8V and 1.5 V
Which of these can act best as both reducing and oxidising agent?
(a) X (b) Y (c) Z (d) W

1What's going on ???? Has everyone on this site gone static in Chem ?
1me 2 think Y
bcoz it has the least difference b/w reduction and oxidation potential = 0
24c) ??
possible explaination
X and W are having very extreme type of reduction potential values among these 4...so they cant be oxidised and reduced simultaneously
Moreover Y is having refrence reduction potenial...so no scope oof red/oxidn
Also Z is having intermediate reduction potential value..which means that it can be both reduced and oxidised
1bhaiya can't above reasoning be applied for X also .
R.P(X)=-0.8 and O.P(X)=+0.8
1if reduction potential is 0 the compound has no capacity to reduce.simultaneously it cannot get oxidised too.w has redution potential 1.5 v which is too high to make it reducing agent. so it has to be x or z
24ya anirudh and jagran...ur logic is also rite...
it should be X or Z
but asish gave ans Z
and as everyone knows every answer in inorganic is jugaad....to main bas koi tareka dhoond raha tha jd lee ke ans ko justify karne ke liye..becoz jd lee cant be wrong
