Which one of the following pairs of substances on reaction will not evolve H 2 gas?

Options

  1. AIron and steam
  2. BIron and H 2 S O 4 (aqueous)
  3. CCopper and HCl (aqueous)
  4. DSodium and ethyl alcohol

Correct answer

C. Copper and HCl (aqueous)

Step-by-step solution

Fe + dil . H 2 SO 4 → FeSO 4 + H 2 ↑ 3 Fe + 4 H 2 O g → Fe 3 O 4 + 4 H 2 ↑ Cu + dil . HCl → No reaction 2 Na + C 2 H 5 OH → 2 C 2 H 5 ONa + H 2 ↑ Copper does not evolve H 2 from acid as it is below hydrogen in electrochemical series. The electrochemical series is built up by arranging various redox equilibria in order of their standard electrode potential (redox potential). The most negative E ° values are placed at the top of the electrochemical series, and the most positive at the bottom. Metals at the top of the
