(a) Interpretation: The order of reducing strength of each of the elements present in the given reactions is to be determined. Concept introduction: The activity or the electrochemical series can be defined as the list of metals, which are arranged in order of their decreasing reactivity or in order of their decreasing ease of oxidation. The elements which are present at the top of this series are the weakest reductant while the elements which are present at the bottom of this series are the strongest reductant, this means they have good reducing strength. A reducing agent is a chemical species that has the tendency to reduce others and itself gets oxidized in each redox chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The order of reducing strength of each of the elements present in the given reactions is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The activity or the electrochemical series can be defined as the list of metals, which are arranged in order of their decreasing reactivity or in order of their decreasing ease of oxidation.
The elements which are present at the top of this series are the weakest reductant while the elements which are present at the bottom of this series are the strongest reductant, this means they have good reducing strength. A reducing agent is a chemical species that has the tendency to reduce others and itself gets oxidized in each redox chemical reaction.
