 Hints and Solution
1. (1)
6. (4)
The reduction potential of H2O is more than Na+, Theoretical
\ H+ from H2O is reduced at cathode.
7. (1)
The oxidation potential of H2O is more than SO24 - ,
High value for E°red . Shows more electronegativity
\ Oxygen from H2O is oxidised at anode i. e. , Zn is more electropositive than Fe.

= –0.30 V In cathodic protection, iron is attached to more
electropositive metal such as zinc or magnesium,
4. (2) which give up electron to oxygen more readily
than iron. So, Iron is protected from rusting.
