Which reactions do not liberate $H_{2(g)}$?

At $300 \ K$,the conductivity of $0.01 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$ aqueous solution of acetic acid is $19.5 \times 10^{-5} \ S \ cm^{-1}$ and the limiting molar conductivity of acetic acid at the same temperature is $390 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$. The degree of dissociation of acetic acid is:

During the electrolysis of concentrated $H_2SO_4$,perdisulphuric acid $(H_2S_2O_8)$ and $O_2$ are formed at the anode in equimolar amounts. The moles of $H_2$ that will form simultaneously at the other electrode will be (Given: $2H_2SO_4 \rightarrow H_2S_2O_8 + 2H^+ + 2e^-$)

Chemical reactions involve the interaction of atoms and molecules. $A$ large number of atoms/molecules (approximately $6.023 \times 10^{23}$) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound,varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently,the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry,biochemistry,electrochemistry,and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case involving a chemical/electrochemical reaction,which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. $A$ $4.0 \ M$ aqueous solution of $NaCl$ is prepared and $500 \ mL$ of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic mass: $Na=23, Hg=200; 1 \ F = 96500 \ C$).
$1.$ The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is:
$(A)$ $0.5$ $(B)$ $1.0$ $(C)$ $2.0$ $(D)$ $3.0$
$2.$ If the cathode is a $Hg$ electrode,the maximum weight $(g)$ of amalgam formed from this solution is:
$(A)$ $200$ $(B)$ $225$ $(C)$ $400$ $(D)$ $446$
$3.$ The total charge (coulombs) required for complete electrolysis is:
$(A)$ $24125$ $(B)$ $48250$ $(C)$ $96500$ $(D)$ $193000$

Based on the following information,arrange four metals,$A$,$B$,$C$,and $D$,in order of increasing ability to act as reducing agents:
$(I)$ Only $C$ reacts with $1 \ M \ HCl$ to give $H_{2(g)}$.
$(II)$ When $A$ is added to a solution of the other metal salts,metallic $D$ is formed,but not $B$ or $C$.
