The standard electrode potential (M3+/M2+) forV, Cr, Mn&Coare-0.26 V, - 0.41 V, +1.57 Vand+1.97 V, respectively. The metal ions which can liberateH2from a dilute acid are

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The E values for the redox couple (M3+/M2+) shows that Mn2+ and Co2+ ions are the strongest oxidising agents in aqueous solution.

The ions Ti2+, V2+ and Cr2+ are strong reducing agents and will liberate hydrogen from a dilute acid.

So, the Correct answer is V2+ and Cr2+.
