a) Cathode: Iron, Anode: Copper

b) Cathode: Copper, Anode: Iron

c) Cathode: Iron, Anode: Iron

d) Cathode: Copper, Anode: Copper

Answer: Cathode: Copper, Anode: Iron

3. Which of the following is the correct order of reactivity of metals?

a) Zn > Mg > Fe > Cu > Ag

b) Zn > Mg > Fe > Ag > Cu

c) Mg > Zn > Fe > Ag > Cu

d) Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag

Answer: Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag

4. Which of the following is a correct method to calculate the EMF of a galvanic cell?

a) Standard EMF of the cell = [Standard reduction potential of the reduction half reaction] + [Standard reduction potential of the oxidation half reaction]

b) Standard EMF of the cell = [Standard oxidation potential of the oxidation half reaction] – [Standard reduction potential of the reduction half reaction]

c) E°_cell = E°_cathode – E°_anode
