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;Eo=1.19 VFe3+(aq)+3eFe;Eo=0.04 VAu3+(aq)+3eAu;Eo=1.40 VHg2+(aq)+2eHg;Eo=+0.86 V
The pair(s) of metals that is not oxidised by NO3 in aqueous solution is (are):

A

Solution

The correct option is B Fe and Au
Metals with E° value less than 0.96 V will be able to reduce NO3 in aqueous solution.Therefore, metals V(E°=1.19 V), Fe(E°=0.04 V), Hg(E°=0.86 V) will all reduce NO3 but Au (E°=1.40 V) cannot reducein NO3 aqueous solution.
