Question

Assertion: Cu is stronger reducing agent than H₂.

Reason : E° of Cu²⁺/Cu is negative

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A and R are false

Answer 1

Correct option  (d) A and R are false

Explanation:

E° of Cu^2+/Cu is + 0.34 V and positive E° means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the H⁺/H₂ couple.
