Adding powdered Pb and Fe to a solution containing 1.0M each of Pb2+ and Fe2+ ions would result in the formation of:
(Given : EoPb2+/Pb= - 0.13 V and EoFe2+/Fe = -0.44 V at 298 K)
A
More of Pb and Fe2+ ions

Solution
The correct option is A More of Pb and Fe2+ ions As the value of standard electrode potential for Pb2+ is more than that of Fe2+ i.e. E∘Pb2+/Pb>E∘Fe2+/Fe
So, Fe will get oxidised and Pb2+ will get reduced. Hence, we will have more of Pb and Fe2+ ions.
