Question
A solution containing 1.0 M each of Cu(NO3)2, Mg(NO3)2, AgNO3, Hg(NO3)2 is being electrolysed using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potential are: Ag+|Ag = 0.80 V, Hg2+|Hg = 0.79 V, Cu2+|Cu = 0.34 V, Mg2+|Mg = − 2.37 V. With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposit of metals on the cathode will be
