PYQ NEET- Redox Reactions L-7

Question: At $298 \mathrm{~K}$, the standard electrode potentials of $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}$ and $\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag}$ are 0.34 $\mathrm{V},-0.76 \mathrm{~V},-0.44 \mathrm{~V}$ and $0.80 \mathrm{~V}$, respectively. On the basis of standard electrode potential, predict which of the following reaction can not occur? (2022)

A) $\mathrm{FeSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s})$

B) $2 \mathrm{CuSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4(\mathrm{aq})$ $\mathrm

C) $\mathrm{CuSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})$

D) $\mathrm{CuSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow \mathrm{FeSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})$

Answer: $2 \mathrm{CuSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4(\mathrm{aq})$ $\mathrm
