Elements with low reduction potential (I.e even considering the signs . For eg .-2.4 is less than -1.5) have more reducing character and can oxidize the ones with greater reduction potential . So here iron (-0.41) is having lesser reduction potential than H+ (standrad value 0.0) so it reduces h+ to h2 molecule and gets oxidized to fe+2
