    Which one of the following metals will not reduce \[{{H}_{2}}O\] [EAMCET 1997]

    A) \[Ca\]

    B) \[Fe\]

    C) \[Cu\]

    D) \[Li\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[Cu+{{H}_{2}}O\to \] No reaction \[E_{L{{i}^{+}}/Li}^{0}=-\,\,3.04\,\,V\] \[E_{{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}}^{0}=0.00\,V\] \[E_{C{{a}^{+}}/Ca}^{0}=-2.87\,V\] \[E_{C{{u}^{+}}/Cu}^{0}=+0.34\,V\] \[Cu\]comes below H in the electrochemical series. Hence, unable to displace hydrogen from water.
