Question

For the reduction of NO3 ion in an aqueous solution, Eo is +0.96 V. Values of Eo for some metal ions are given below.
V2+ (aq)+2eV E0=1.19 V
Fe3+ (aq)+3eFe E0=0.04 V
​​​​​​​Au3+ (aq)+3eAu E0=+1.40 V
​​​​​​​Hg2+ (aq)+2eHg E0=+0.86 V
The pair(s) of metals that is (are) oxidised by NO3 in aqueous solution is (are)

A

Solution

The correct option is D Fe and V
The species having less reduction potential with respect to NO3 (Eo=+0.96 V) will be oxidised by NO3. Here V, Fe, and Hg has less reduction potential value compared to NO3. Thus V, Fe, and Hg will get oxidised by NO3
