Question

# Given;$$E^{\ominus}_{Cu^{2+}\, |\, Cu}\, =\, 0.34\, V\, ,\, E^{\ominus}_{Zn^{2+}\, |\, Zn}\, =\, -\, 0.76\, V$$,$$E^{\ominus}_{Ag^{\oplus}\, |\, Ag}\, =\, 0.80\, V$$Assertion: Copper sulphate solution can be stored in silver vessel.Reason: $$E^{\ominus}_{cell}$$ is positive.

A
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
B
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
C
Assertion is true but Reason is false
D
Assertion is false but Reason is true
E
Both Assertion and Reason are false

Solution

## The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of AssertionAs in Q. 3 above.Cell representation would be:$$\therefore\, E^{\ominus}_{cell}\, =\,(E^{\ominus}_{red})_{c}\, -\, (E^{\ominus}_{red})_{a}$$= 0.34 - (- 0.80) = 1.14 VSince $$E^{\ominus}_{cell}$$ is +ve, so $$CuSO_4$$ solution can be stored in silver vessel.ChemistryNCERTStandard XII
