Question

For the reduction of NO3 ion in an aqueous solution, E0is+0.96V. Values of E0 for some metal ions are given below
V2+(aq)+2eVE0=1.19 V

Fe3+(aq)+3eFeE0=0.04 V

Au3+(aq)+3eAuE0=+1.40 V

Hg2+(aq)+2eHgE0=+0.86 V

The pair(s) metals that is(are) oxidized by NO3 in aqueous solution is(are):

A

Solution

The correct options are
A V and Hg
B Hg and Fe
D Fe and V
NO3 ion in an aqueous solution E0 is +0.96V. It can oxidize only those metals that have standard reduction potentials Eo less than NO3.

Thus, the metal V,Fe and Hg can be oxidized by NO3 but not Au.

Options A, B, and D are correct.
