Given that, \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ni}^{2+} / \mathrm{Ni}}^{\circ}=-0.25 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=+0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ag}^{2+} / \mathrm{Ag}}^{0}=+0.80 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Zn}}^{0}=-0.76 \mathrm{~V}\) 
Which of the following redox processes will not take place in specified direction?
  1. \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{~s}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})\)
  2. \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{~s})\)
  3. \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})\)
  4. \(\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})\)

Answer

(A) Ni ^ 2+ ( aq )+ Cu ( ~s ) Ni ( ~s )+ Cu ^ 2+ ( aq ), (C) Cu ( ~s )+2 H ^ + ( aq ) Cu ^ 2+ ( aq )+ H _ 2 ( ~g )
