Standard Reduction electrode potential of three metals X, Y, and Z are -1.2 V, +0.5 V and -3 V respectively. The reducing power of these metals will be :
1. | Y > X >Z | 2. | Z > X > Y |
3. | X > Y > Z | 4. | Y > Z > X |
When a copper wire is immersed in a solution of AgNO3, the colour of the solution becomes blue because copper:
1. Forms a soluble complex with \(AgNO_3\)
2. Is oxidised to \(Cu^{2+}\)
3. Is reduced to \(Cu^{2-}\)
4. Splits up into atomic form and dissolves
Without losing it's concentration, ZnCl2 solution cannot be kept in contact with :
1. Au
2. Al
3. Pb
4. Ag
A hypothetical electrochemical cell is shown below.
A|A+(x M) || B+(y M)|B
The Emf measured is +0.20 V. The cell reaction is:
1. A+ + B → A + B+
2. A+ + e- → A ; B+ + e- → B
3. The cell reaction cannot be predicted.
4. A + B+ → A+ + B
The negative sign in the expression EoZn2+/Zn = -0.76 V indicates :
1. Metal reactivity increases.
2. Metal reactivity decreases.
3. No effect on metal.
4. None of the above.
The most stable oxidized species among the following is:
\(E_{{\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^2}/ \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}}^{o} =1.33 \mathrm{~V} ; E_{\mathrm{Cl}_2 / \mathrm{Cl}^{-}}^{o}=1.36 \mathrm{~V} \)
\( E_{\mathrm{MnO_{4}}^{-} / \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}^{o}=1.51 \mathrm{~V} ; E_{\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} / \mathrm{Cr}}^{o}=-0.74 \mathrm{~V}\)
1. | Cr3+ | 2. | MnO4- |
3. | Cr2O72- | 4. | Mn2+ |
If an iron rod is dipped in CuSO4 solution, then:
1. Blue colour of the solution turns red.
2. Brown layer is deposited on iron rod.
3. No change occurs in the colour of the solution.
4. None of the above.
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, /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
