Choose the correct statement from the following.

Choose the correct statement from the following.

Options

  1. AThe greater positive value of EOP∘E_{\mathrm{OP}}^{\circ} indicates greater reactivity of metal
  2. BF−\mathrm{F}^{-}is strong oxidant whileCu₂⁺ 2+{ }^{2+} is weak reductant
  3. CThe metals placed above Mg in the electrochemical series do not decompose water at ordinary temperature
  4. DOxides of Hg do not decompose on heating

Correct answer

A. The greater positive value of EOP∘E_{\mathrm{OP}}^{\circ} indicates greater reactivity of metal

Step-by-step solution

According to the applications of electrochemical series on moving from top to bottom in electrochemical series, the values of EoP∘E_{\mathrm{oP}}^{\circ} of metals decrease, and thus reactivity of metals of Eop∘E_{\mathrm{op}}^{\circ} indicates greater reactivity of metal. On the other hand, F−\mathrm{F}^{-}is poor reductant while Cu2+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} is strong oxidant. The metals placed above Mg in ECS decompose water at ordinary temperature to liberate H2\mathrm{H}_2. Oxides of Hg decomposes on heating.
