Question

(B) metal with a lower standard reduction potential acts as a stronger reducing agent and can displace a metal with a higher standard reduction potent

Vedclass · Accepted Answer

The standard reduction potential of iron is less than that of copper

Vedclass · Answer

(B) metal with a lower standard reduction potential acts as a stronger reducing agent and can displace a metal with a higher standard reduction potential from its salt solution. The standard reduction potential of $Fe^{2+}/Fe$ is $-0.44 \ V$,while that of $Cu^{2+}/Cu$ is $+0.34 \ V$. Since $E^{\circ}_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} < E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}$,iron can displace copper from its salt solution according to the reaction: $Fe(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq) + Cu(s)$.

Iron displaces copper from its salt solution,because
