The standard reduction potential for Fe2+|Fe and Sn2+|Sn electrodes are -0.44 V and -0.14 V respectively. For the cell reaction,
Fe2+ + Sn → Fe + Sn2+, the standard Emf is -
1. +0.30 V
2. 0.58 V
3. +0.58 V

On electrolysing a solution of dilute H2SO4 between platinum electrodes, the gas evolved at the anode and cathode are respectively:
1. SO2 and O2
2. SO3 and H2
3. O2 and H2
4. H2 and O2
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-
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 |
A gas X at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1MY- and 1MZ- at 25C. 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:
1. increases by 0.030 V
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, /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
