S Block Elements Question 96
Question: The reducing power of a metal depends on various factors. Suggest the factor which makes $ Li $ metal the strongest reducing agent in aqueous solution:
Options:
A) Sublimation enthalpy
B) Ionisation enthalpy
C) Hydration enthalpy
D) Electron-gain enthalpy
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] Due to high hydration energy of $ L{{i}^{+}} $ cation the standard reduction potential of $ L{{i}^{+}} $ more negative among all alkali metal cation hence $ Li $ act as strong reducing agent water.
