STANDARD Chemistry Electrochemical Series MCQ Question
Which of the following is not a correct statement about electrochemical series of reduction potentials?
The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is 0.00 volts.
Active non-metals have positive reduction potentials.
Active metals have negative reduction potentials.
Metals which have positive reduction potentials are good reducing agent.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Metals with negative reduction potentials undergo oxidation and act as good reducing agents. Therefore, metals with positive reduction potentials are not good reducing agents.
