A solution containing one mol per litre each of 
and
is being electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volt (reduction potentials) are,
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:
C
According to standard reduction potential the Electrochemical series is
So, correct order of deposition on cathode is:
So, correct order is:
