A solution containing one mole per litre of each 
and 
, is being electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volts (reduction potentials) are 
and 
with increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
A cation having highest reduction potential will be reduced first and so on. However, 
in aqueous solution will not be reduced. 
. Instead water would be reduced in preference.
