Statement-II ⇒ At cathode, instead of Mg,H2O(ℓ) will reduce & evolve H2 gas.
JEE Main 2025 — Chemistry Physical Chemistry
Given below are two statements :
1 M aqueous solution of each of Cu(NO3)2,AgNO3, Hg2(NO3)2;Mg(NO3)2 are electrolysed using inert electrodes,
Given : EAg+/Agθ=0.80 V,EHg22+/Hgθ=0.79 V,ECu2+/Cuθ=0.24 V and EMg2+/Mgθ=−2.37 V
Statement (I) : With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be Ag,Hg and Cu
Statement (II) : Magnesium will not be deposited at cathode instead oxygen gas will be evolved at the cathode.
In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

80 mL of a hydrocarbon on mixing with 264 mL of oxygen in a closed U-tube undergoes complete combustion. The residual gases after cooling to 273 K occupy 224 mL. When the system is treated with KOH solution, the volume decreases to 64 mL. The formula of the hydrocarbon is :
What is the energy (in J atom$^{-1}$) required for the following process? $Li^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Li^{3+}(g) + e^-$ (Take the ionization energy for the H atom in the ground state as $2.18 \times 10^{-18}$ J atom$^{-1}$)
Consider the following reduction processes : $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{s}), \mathrm{E}^{0}=-1.66 \mathrm{~V}$ $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}, \mathrm{E}^{0}=+0.77 \mathrm{~V}$ $\mathrm{Co}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Co}^{2+}, \mathrm{E}^{0}=+1.81 \mathrm{~V}$ $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{s}), \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=-0.74 \mathrm{~V}$ The tendency to act as reducing agent decreases in the order :
X and Y are the number of electrons involved, respectively during the oxidation of $\mathrm{I}^{-}$to $\mathrm{I}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{S}^{2-}$ to S by acidified $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}$. The value of $\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Y}$ is $\_\_\_\_$.
