Question:
The standard reduction potentials for $\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Ni}^{2+} / \mathrm{Ni}$ and $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}$ are $-0.76,-0.23$ and $-0.44 \mathrm{~V}$ respectively. The reaction $\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Y}^{+2} \rightarrow \mathrm{X}^{2+}+\mathrm{Y}$ will be spontaneous when
Correct Option: 1
Solution:
For spontaneous reaction $\mathrm{E}^{\circ}>0$ so (A)
