Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The species with the lowest reduction potential will be reduced first. From the given species, NaS1U1P1 has the lowest reduction potential due to the highly electropositive nature of sodium. Therefore, NaS1U1P1+S1S1P0 is the most likely species to be reduced first.
