Vedclass · Answer

(A) For an ion to reduce dilute acid to hydrogen gas $(H_2)$,the standard electrode potential $(E^0)$ of the metal ion must be more negative than the standard reduction potential of hydrogen $(E^0_{H^+/H_2} = 0.00 \ V)$.This means the metal must be a strong enough reducing agent to donate electrons to $H^+$ ions.Among the given options,$Ti^{2+}$ $(E^0 = -0.37 \ V)$ and $Cr^{2+}$ $(E^0 = -0.41 \ V)$ have negative standard reduction potentials,making them capable of reducing $H^+$ to $H_2$ gas.$Mn^{3+}$ and $Co^{3+}$ have positive reduction potentials and act as oxidizing agents,not reducing agents.
