STANDARD Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
E° values of some redox couples are given below. On the basis of these values choose the correct option. E° values : Br₂/Br⁻ = +1.90 ; Ag⁺/Ag(s) = +0.80 ; Cu²⁺/Cu(s) = +0.34 ; I₂(s)/I⁻ = +0.54 V.
A
Cu will reduce Br⁻
B
Cu will reduce Ag
C
Cu will reduce I⁻
D
Cu will reduce Br₂
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
More positive the value of E°, greater is the tendency of the species to get reduced. On the basis of the given E° values, Br₂ is having highest E° value (+1.90) hence, Cu will easily reduce Br₂.
