Li occupies higher position in the electrochemical series of metals as compared to Cu since

A

The standard reduction potential of `Li^(+)// Li` is lower than that of `Cu^(2+)//Cu`

B

The standard reduction potential of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` is lower than that of `Li^(+)// Li`

C

The standard oxidation potential of `Li^(+)// Li` is lower than that of `Cu^(2+)//Cu`

D

Li is smaller in size as compared to Cu

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Position of Cl is below Br in electrochemical series. So chlorine itself will be reduced and oxidize KBr to `Br_2` .
`Cl_2 + 2KBr rarr 2KCl + Br_2` .
