Some standard electrode potentials at 298 K are given below:
Pb2+/Pb –0.13 V
Ni2+/Ni –0.24 V
C2+/Cd –0.40 V
Fe2+/Fe –0.44 V
To a solution containing 0.001 M of X2+ and 0.1 M of Y2+, the metal rods X and Y are inserted (at 298 K) and connected by a conducting wire. This resulted in the dissolution of X.
The correct combination(s) of X and Y, respectively, is(are)
(Given: Gas constant, R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, Faraday constant, F = 96500 C mol-1)
