Electrode potential data are given below :
\[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+3}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2} ; & \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=+0.77 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{s})} ; & \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=-1.66 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Br}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Br}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{-} ; & \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=+1.08 \mathrm{~V} \end{array}\]
Based on the data, the reducing power of Fe2+, Al and Br will increase in the order
  1. Br < Fe2+ < Al
  2. Fe2+ < Al < Br
  3. Al < Br < Fe2+
  4. Al < Fe2+ < Br

Answer

(A) Br – 2+ < Al
