The reducing ability of the metals K, Au, Zn, and Pb follows the order
| 1. | K > Pb > Au > Zn | 2. | Pb > K > Zn > Au |
| 3. | Zn > Au > K > Pb | 4. | K > Zn > Pb > Au |
values of some redox couples are given below. On the basis of these values choose the correct option.
| 1. | Cu will reduce Br– | 2. | Cu will reduce Ag |
| 3. | Cu will reduce I– | 4. | Cu will reduce Br2 |
| Assertion (A): | Among halogens, fluorine is the best oxidant. |
| Reason (R): | Fluorine is the most electronegative atom. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| Half-Reaction | Eº(V) |

| 1. | I only | 2. | II only |

The correct statement about the given reaction is:
(CN)2(g) + 2OH-(aq) CN-(aq) + CNO-(aq) + H2O(l)
| 1. | The reaction is an example of a disproportionation reaction. |
| 2. | Hydrogen atom gets oxidized. |
| 3. | Reaction occurs in acidic medium. |
| 4. | None of the above |
The Mn3+ ion is unstable in solution and undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Mn2+, MnO2 and H+ ion. The balanced ionic equation for the reaction is:
| 1. | \(2 \mathrm{Mn}^{3+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)→\({\mathrm{MnO}_{2(\mathrm{~s})}+\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}}\) |
| 2. | \( \mathrm{Mn^{3+}_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} } \) → \({\mathrm{MnO}_{2(\mathrm{~s})}+\mathrm{2Mn}^{2+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}}\) |
| 3. | \(5 \mathrm{Mn}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)→\(\mathrm{MnO}_{2(\mathrm{s})}+3 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})\) |
| 4. | \(2 \mathrm{Mn}^{3+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \)→\(2 \mathrm{MnO}_{2(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}\) |
| (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. | \(\mathrm{K}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Cr}<\mathrm{Hg}<\mathrm{Ag}\) |
The standard electrode potential (E°) values of Al3+/ Al, Ag+ / Ag, K+ / K, and Cr3+ / Cr are –1.66 V, 0.80 V, –2.93 V, & –0.79 V respectively. The correct decreasing order of the reducing power of the metals is:
| 1. | Ag > Cr > Al > K | 2. | K > Al > Cr > Ag |
| 3. | K > Al > Ag > Cr | 4. | Al > K > Ag > Cr |
