During an electrolysis , the cations are discharged at cathode .This is called reduction
Name two cations which will not be reduced in the presence of hydrogen ions .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify two cations that will not be reduced at the cathode during electrolysis in the presence of hydrogen ions (H⁺). The key to answering this question lies in understanding the reactivity series of metals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Electrolysis and Reduction**: During electrolysis, cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode (negative electrode) where they gain electrons, a process known as reduction. 2. **Identify the Role of Hydrogen Ions**: In the presence of hydrogen ions (H⁺), we need to determine which cations are less likely to be reduced than hydrogen ions. ...
