Assertion : A metal having negative reduction potential when dipped in the solution of its own ions has a tendency to pass into solution .
Reason : Metals undergo reduction .

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A metal having negative reduction potential has high tendency to get oxidised and hence metal passes into the solution.

    Assertion: A negative value of standard reduction potential means that reduction takes place on this electrode with reference to standard hydrogen electrode. Reason: The standard electrode potential of a half cell has a fixed value.

    Assertion When the solution pressure of a metal is more than the osmotic pressure of the ions, the cations pass into the solution more rapidly leaving the electrode negatively charged. Reason When the solution pressure of the metal is less than the osmotic pressure of the ions, the cations migrate from solution and get deposited on the electrodes making it positive ly charged.

    Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potentials compared to other alkaline earth metals due to:

    Hydrogen gas reduces which metal ion in its aqueous solution?

    Assertion : Mercury cell does not give steady potential. Reason : In the cell reaction, ions are not involved in solution.
