Some standard electrode potentials at 298 K are given below: (2021-Shift-2)
Pb2+/Pb \(\text { ⇒ }\) –0.13 V
Ni2+/Ni \(\text { ⇒ }\) –0.24 V
Cd2+/Cd \(\text { ⇒ }\) –0.40 V
Fe2+/Fe \(\text { ⇒ }\) –0.44 V
To a solution containing 0.001 M of X2+ and 0.1 M of Y2+, the metal rods X and Y are inserted (at 298 K) and connected by a conducting wire. This resulted in dissolution of X. The correct combination(s) of X and Y, respectively, is (are)
(Given: Gas constant, R = 8.314 J K–1 mol–1, Faraday constant, F = 96500 C mol–1)
  1. Cd and Ni
  2. Cd and Fe
  3. Ni and Pb
  4. Ni and Fe

Answer

(A) Cd and Ni, (C) Ni and Pb
