Question:
Choose the correct statement from the following which is related to electrochemical series
Choose the correct statement from the following which is related to electrochemical series
Updated On: Jun 15, 2024
- Electrochemical series is not the arrangement of metals and ions according to their reactivity
- The metal ions at the top of the electrochemical series are highly electronegative
- Strongly electropositive metals can displace weakly electropositive metals from their salt solutions
- All metals above hydrogen in the series do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
On the basis of electrochemical series strongly electropositive metals can displace weakly electro -positive metals from the salt solution.

Concepts Used:
Electrochemical Cells
An electrochemical cell is a device that is used to create electrical energy through the chemical reactions which are involved in it. The electrical energy supplied to electrochemical cells is used to smooth the chemical reactions. In the electrochemical cell, the involved devices have the ability to convert the chemical energy to electrical energy or vice-versa.
Classification of Electrochemical Cell:
Cathode
- Denoted by a positive sign since electrons are consumed here
- A reduction reaction occurs in the cathode of an electrochemical cell
- Electrons move into the cathode
Anode
- Denoted by a negative sign since electrons are liberated here
- An oxidation reaction occurs here
- Electrons move out of the anode
Types of Electrochemical Cells:
Galvanic cells (also known as Voltaic cells)
- Chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy.
- The redox reactions are spontaneous in nature.
- The anode is negatively charged and the cathode is positively charged.
- The electrons originate from the species that undergo oxidation.
Electrolytic cells
- Electrical energy is transformed into chemical energy.
- The redox reactions are non-spontaneous.
- These cells are positively charged anode and negatively charged cathode.
- Electrons originate from an external source.
