The reaction `Cu^(2+)(aq)+2Cl^(c-)(aq) rarr Cu(s)+Cl_(2)(g)` has `E^(c-)._(cell)=-1.03V`. This reaction

A

Can be made to produce electricity in voltaic cell

B

Can be made to occur in an electrolytic cell

C

Can occur in acidic medium only

D

Can occur in basic medium only.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`Cu^(2+)+2Cl^(c-) rarr Cu+Cl_(2),E^(c-)._(cell)lt0`
`implies` Reactions which have `E^(c-)._(cell)lt0(`non`-` spontaneous `)` can be made to occur in an electrolyte cell.
