Can Chlorine gas be stored in Copper Cyl...

Can Chlorine gas be stored in Copper Cylinder ? Given `E_(Cu^(+)//Cu)^(@)= 0.34V and E_(Cl_(2)//Cl)^(@)= 1.36V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, because Cu will react with `Cl_(2)` [R.P of `Cu gt` R.P.of `Cl_(2)`]
`Cu + Cl_(2) rarr Cu^(2+) + 2Cl^(-)`
`therefore` The vessel is eaten up and solution is destroyed.
