AIIMS 2013 Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Cu is stronger reducing agent than H₂. Reason: E° of Cu²⁺/Cu is negative.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
E° of Cu2+/Cu is + 0.34 V and positive E° means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the H+/H2 couple.
