The correct statement about the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of with Ag electrode is:
1. | Ag+ ion gets oxidised at cathode; Ag(s) is reduced at anode. |
2. | H2O gets reduced at cathode; H2O gets oxidised at anode. |
3. | Ag+ ion gets reduced at cathode; H2O is oxidised at anode. |
4. | Ag+ ion gets reduced at cathode; Ag(s) is oxidised at anode. |
From the following, identify the reaction having the top position in the EMF series (standard reduction potential) according to their electrode potential at 298 K.
1. Mg2++ 2e–Mg(s)
2. Fe2+ + 2e– Fe(s)
3. Au3++ 3e–Au(s)
4. K++ 1e –K(s)
