1.	An aqueous solution containing one mole per litre of each Cu(NO_(3))_(2),AgNO_(3),Hg_(2)(NO_(3))_(2) and Mg(NO_(3))_(2) is being electrolysed using inert electrodes. The values of the standard electrode potentials in volts (reduction potentials) are Ag\|Ag^(+)=0.80,2Hg\|Hg_(2)^(2+)=+0.79 Cu\|Cu^(2+)=+0.34,Mg\|Mg^(2+)=-2.37 With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on cathode will be
Answer» AG,HG,Cu,Mg Mg,Cu,Hg,Ag Ag,Hg,Cu Cu,Hg,Ag Solution :HIGHER the reduction potential, more EASILY is the metal deposited `(M^(n+)+n e^(-)toM)`. `Mg^(2+)` ions will not be deposited because `H_(2)O` is reduced more easily than `Mg^(2+)` ions.
