Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 7 April (Evening Shift)

Given below are two statements : 1 M aqueous solutions of each of Cu(NO3)2, AgNO3, Hg2(NO3)2, Mg(NO3)2 are electrolysed using inert electrodes. Given: E0Ag+/Ag = 0.80 V, E0Hg22+/Hg = 0.79 V, E0Cu2+/Cu = 0.34 V and E0Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Answer

(3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Solution

At the cathode reduction occurs; the species with the higher (more positive) E0 is reduced first.

Statement I: E0: Ag+/Ag (0.80 V) > Hg22+/Hg (0.79 V) > Cu2+/Cu (0.34 V)

with increasing voltage the metals deposit in the order Ag, Hg, Cu. Correct.

Statement II: E0Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V is far below that of water (2H2O + 2e- H2 + 2OH-; E0 = -0.83 V). So Mg is not deposited; water is reduced and hydrogen gas (not oxygen) is evolved at the cathode. Oxygen is evolved at the anode. Incorrect.

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Answer: (3)
