Question

The number of ions from the following that have the ability to liberate hydrogen from a dilute acid is _________.

…

Accepted Answer

Option C. To determine the ability of the ions to liberate hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to understand the standard electrode potentials of these ions in comparison to hydrogen. The standard electrode potential of hydrogen (…) is set at 0 volts. Any metal ion with a negative standard reduction potential compared to hydrogen has the ability to liberate hydrogen gas from dilute acids because they are more likely to donate electrons to the … ions found in acids, reducing them to … gas.
