Both Assertion and Reason are true

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The standard reduction potential $(	ext{SRP})$ for $Cu^{2+} + 2e^{-} ightarrow Cu$ is $+0.34 \ V$.The $	ext{SRP}$ for $2H^{+} + 2e^{-} ightarrow H_2$ is $0.00 \ V$.Since the $	ext{SRP}$ of $Cu^{2+}$ $(+0.34 \ V)$ is greater than the $	ext{SRP}$ of $H^{+}$ $(0.00 \ V)$,$Cu^{2+}$ ions are reduced more easily than $H^{+}$ ions.Therefore,both the Assertion and the Reason are true,and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Assertion : $Cu^{2+}$ ions get reduced more easily than $H^{+}$ ions.
Reason : Standard electrode potential of copper is $0.34 \ V$.
