In a redox reaction, which ion would you expect to be more easily reduced? in a redox reaction, which ion would you expect to be more easily reduced? hypochlorite ion, clo− they are equally reducible. not enough information is given. perchlorate, clo−4

There is not enough information given upon which to decide which ion is more easily reducible.

Species are reduced when they accept electrons. When a specie is reduced, it experiences a decrease in its oxidation number. Recall that redox reactions involve giving and taking of electrons.

The reduction potential of a chemical specie gives us an idea which specie is more easily reduced. The reduction potential tells us the ease with which a chemical specie accepts electrons and become reduced.

Had it been that the reduction potentials of both species were provided in the question, we can make a decision regarding which specie is more easily reduced.
