Question

Given:
Zn2+(aq) + 2e- Zn(s); = -0.76 V
Cr3+(aq) + 3e- Cr(s); = -0.74 V
Fe2+(aq) + 2e- Fe(s); = -0.41 V
Cd2+(aq) + 2e- Cd(s); = -0.40 V
Sn2+(aq) + 2e- Sn(s); = -0.15 V
Hg2+(aq) + 2e- Hg(s); = 0.85 V
Au+(aq) + e- Au(s); = 1.69 V
Under standard-state conditions, which of the following metals will reduce Hg2+to Hg but will not reduce Cd2+to Cd?
A) Cr
B) Zn
C) Fe
D) Sn
