Nitric acid reacts with PbO but does not react with PbO, because -

1. PbO is a base while PbO2 is a strong oxidizing reagent

2. PbO is a base while PbO2 is a weak oxidizing reagent

3. PbO is neutral while PbO2 is a strong oxidizing reagent

4. PbO is acid while PbO2 is a strong oxidizing reagent

Consider the standard electrode potentials given below:
(a) \(E_{k^+/K}^o = - 2.93\ V\); \(E_{Ag^+/Ag}^o = 0.80\ V\)
(b) \(E_{Hg^{2+}/Hg}^o = 0.79\ V\); \(E_{Mg^{2+}/Mg}^o = - 2.37\ V\)  
(c) \(E_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}^o = -0.74\ V\)


The correct arrangement of increasing order for reducing power of elements is:

1. \(\mathrm{Ag}<\mathrm{Hg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{K} \)
2. \(\mathrm{Ag}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Hg}>\mathrm{K}\)
3. \(\mathrm{K}>\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Hg}>\mathrm{Ag} \)
4. \(\mathrm{K}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Hg}<\mathrm{Ag}\)

Why does the MnO₄²⁻ ion undergo disproportionation in an acidic medium, whereas the MnO₄⁻ ion does not?
1.  Due to manganese being in its highest oxidation state in MnO₄²⁻.
2.  Due to manganese being in its highest oxidation state in MnO₄⁻
3.  Because the disproportionation reaction of MnO₄²⁻ is endothermic.
4.  Because the disproportionation reaction of MnO₄²⁻ is exothermic.
