In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam because :

1. Hg is more inert than Pt

2. More voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than at Pt

3. Na is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt

4. Concentration of H+ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken.

A solution containing one mole per litre each of Cu(NO3)2, AgNO3, Hg2(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2 is being electrolyzed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volt (reduction potentials) are,

Ag/Ag = 0.80 V, Hg22+/2Hg = 0.79 V,

Cu2+/Cu = +0.34 V and Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V

With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be:

1. Ag, Hg, Cu, Mg

2. Mg, Cu, Hg, Ag

3. Ag, Hg, Cu

4. Cu, Hg, Ag
