Question
A student made the following observations in the laboratory:
(I) Clean copper metal did not react with 1 M – Pb(NO3)2 solution.
(II) Clean lead metal dissolves in 1 M – AgNO3 solution and crystals of Ag metal appeared.
(III) Clean silver metal did not react with 1 M – Cu(NO3)2 solution.
The order of decreasing reducing character of the three metals is
Options
A.Cu > Pb > Ag
B.Cu > Ag > Pb
C.Pb > Cu > Ag
D.Pb > Ag > Cu
Solution
(I) Cu cannot reduce Pb
(II) Pb can reduce Ag
(III) Ag cannot reduce Cu.
Hence, reducing power: Pb > Cu > Ag
