Given

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Co}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Co}^{2+} ; \mathrm{E}^{\prime \prime}=+1.81 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{~Pb}^{4+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pb}^{2+} ; \mathrm{E}^{\prime \prime}=+1.67 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Ce}^{4+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ce}^{3+} ; \mathrm{E}^{\prime \prime}=+1.61 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Bi}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Bi}^{\prime} ; \mathrm{E}^{\prime \prime}=+0.20 \mathrm{~V} \end{array}\]

Oxidizing power of the species will increase in the order:

  1. Co3+ < Ce4+ < Bi3+ < Pb4+
  2. Co3+ < Pb4+ < Ce4+ < Bi2+
  3. Ce4+ < Pb4+ < Bi3+ < Co3+
  4. Bi3+ < Ce4+ < Pb4+ < Co3+

Answer

(D) Bi 3+ < Ce 4+ < Pb 4+ < Co 3+
