Q. Arrange the following metals in the order in which they displace each other
from the solution of their salts.
Al, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn
Answer
The order in which metal displaces each other from the solution of their salts is:
Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Cu
Q. Given the standard electrode potentials,
K+/K = −2.93V, Ag+/Ag = 0.80V,
Hg2+/Hg = 0.79V,
Mg2+/Mg = −2.37 V, Cr3+/Cr = − 0.74V
Arrange these metals in their increasing order of reducing power.
Answer
Lower the reduction potential, higher will be reducing power.
Therefore, the order of reducing power of the given metals increases as:
Ag < Hg < Cr < Mg < K
