Which of the following ions can reduce dilute acid to give hydrogen gas?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ti}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}, \mathrm{Ti}^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Co}^{3+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Ti}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Many of transition metals are sufficiently electropositive to react with dilute acid in order to produce hydrogen gas. But those having lower standard reduction potential are not able to liberate \(\mathrm{H}_2\) from dilute acid.
