    The standard reduction electrode potentials of the three electrodes P, Q and R are respectively \[-1.76\text{ }V,0.34\text{ }V\]and 0.8 V, then

    A)  metal Q will displace the cation of P from its aqueous solution and deposit the metal P     

    B)  both metals Q-and R will displace the cation of P from its aqueous solution and deposit the metal P

    C)  metal R will displace the cation of P from its aqueous solution and deposit the metal P

    D)  metal P will displace the cation of R from its aqueous solution and deposit the metal R

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The metal that has less standard reduction electrode potential or more negative reduction potential, can displace the other metals (cations) from their aqueous solution. Among the given, P has most negative standard reduction potential, so it will displace Q and R cations from the aqueous solution and deposit them.
