JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

Consider the following standard electrode potentials (\(E^o\) in volts) in aqueous solution
Element \(M^{3+}/ M\) \(M^+/M\)
\(Al\) \(-1.66\) \(+0.55\)
\(Tl\) \(+1.26\) \(-0.34\)
Based on these data, which of the following statements is correct ?

  1. A \(Tl^+\) is more stable than \(Al^{3+}\)
  2. B \(Al^+\) is more stable than \(Al^{3+}\)
  3. C \(Tl^+\) is more stable than \(Al^+\)
  4. D \(Tl^{3+}\) is more stable than \(Al^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(Tl^+\) is more stable than \(Al^+\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((i)\,\mathop {A{l^{3 + }}}\limits_{Most\,\,stable} \,\xrightarrow{{{E^o}\, = \, - \,1.66}}Al\,\xleftarrow{{{E^o}\, = \, + \,0.55}}\mathop {A{l^ + }}\limits_{Less\,\,stable} \)…
