• B) (weakest reducing agent) Cl - (aq) < Ag (s) < Zn (s) (strongest reducing agent)
• C) (weakest reducing agent) Zn (s) - (aq) < Ag (s) (strongest reducing agent)
• D) (weakest reducing agent) Ag (s) - (aq) (strongest reducing agent)
• E) (weakest reducing agent) Cl - (aq) < Zn (s) < Ag (s) (strongest reducing agent)
