Assertion: Cu is stronger reducing agent...

Assertion: `Cu` is stronger reducing agent than `H^(+)`.
Reason: `E^(0)` of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` is negative.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E^(0)` of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` is `+0.34V` and positive `E^(0)` means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the `H^(+)//H_(2)` couple.
