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.

If mercury is used as cathode in the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution, the ions discharged at cathode are:

1. H⁺

2. Na⁺

3. OH^-

4. Cl^-

The standard reduction electrode potentials of three metals X, Y, and Z are given as -1.2 V, +0.5 V, and -3.0 V, respectively. Based on these values, what is the correct order of their reducing power?

A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1MY^- and 1MZ^- at 25$°$C. If the reduction potential of Z > Y > X, then:

1. Y will oxidise X and not Z

2. Y will oxidise Z and not X

3. Y will oxidise both X and Z

4. Y will reduce both X and Z

The solution of CuSO₄ in which copper rod is immersed is diluted to 10 times, the reduction electrode potential:

2. decreases by 0.030 V

3. increases by 0.059 V

4. decreases by 0.059 V

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, ${\mathrm{Hg}}_2^{2+}$/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
