Lower the reduction potential, more is the reducing power.
$$B{r^ - } < F{e^{2 + }} < Al$$

A hydrogen gas electrode is made by dipping platinum wire in a solution of $$HCl$$ of $$pH=10$$ and by passing hydrogen gas around the platinum wire at $$1$$ $$atm$$ pressure. The oxidation potential of electrode would be
In the electrolysis of dilute $${H_2}S{O_4},{O_2}$$ is liberated at anode and $${H_2}$$ at cathode.

An electrochemical cell is shown below
$$Pt,{H_2}\left( {1\,atm} \right)\left| {HCl\left( {0.1M} \right)} \right|$$ $$C{H_3}COOH\left. {\left( {0.1M} \right)} \right|{H_2}\left( {1\,atm} \right),$$ $$Pt$$
The $$EMF$$ of the cell will not be zero, because
A
$$EMF$$ depends on molarities of acids used
B
$$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,HCl$$ and $$0.1\,M\,{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}COOH$$ is not same
C
the temperature is constant
D
acids used in two compartments are different
Answer :
$$pH$$ of $$0.1\,M\,HCl$$ and $$0.1\,M\,{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}COOH$$ is not same
The $$EMF$$ of the cell will not be zero because concentration of $${H^ + }$$ $$ions$$ in two electrolytic solutions is different. Mean $$HCl$$ is strong acid where, acetic acid is weak acid and gives different $$pH.$$

For a given reaction : $$M\left( {x + n} \right) + n{e^ - } \to {M^{x + }},{E^ - }_{red}$$ is known along with $${M^{\left( {x + n} \right)}}$$ and $${M^{x + }}\,ion$$ concentrations. Then
The amount. of copper deposited at cathode by reduction of $$C{u^{2 + }}\,ions$$ is $$\frac{{3.2}}{{63}} = 0.05\,moles.$$
The same amount $$0.05\,mole$$ of $$C{u^{2 + }}$$ must pass into solution from anode by oxidation.
