A) Ag
B) Mg
C) Cu
D) Cr
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The reduction potential of Mg is less than that of water\[(E{}^\circ =-\,0.83 V)\]. Hence their ions in the aqueous solution cannot be reduced and instead water will be reduced. \[2{{H}_{2}}O\,\,+\,\,2{{e}^{-}}\,\to \,\,{{H}_{2}}\,\,+\,\,2O{{H}^{-}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
