In which of the following cases a chemical reaction is possible?

  1. A \(\mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}(a q)\) is placed in a copper vessel
  2. B \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) solution is stirred with a copper spoon
  3. C Conc. \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) is stored in a platinum vessel
  4. D gold ornaments are washed with dil. \(\mathrm{HCl}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) solution is stirred with a copper spoon

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A chemical reaction is possible when \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) solution is stirred with copper spoon as copper has lesser positive value of standard electrode reduction potential as compared to Ag.
The reaction will be,
\(2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}+\mathrm{Cu} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}+2 \mathrm{Ag}\)
