MCQ
Which of these metals do not corrode?
  • A
    Lead
  • B
    Copper
  • C
    Platinum
  • D
    Silver

Answer

  1. Platinum

Explanation:

Corrosion is a process through which metals in manufactured states return to their natural oxidation states. This process is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which the metal is being oxidized by its surroundings, often the oxygen in air. As platinum is least reactive so it will not corrode.

Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential ( $\mathrm{E}^{\circ}$ ) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their $E^{\circ}$ ($V$ with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values. 

$\mathrm{I}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{I}\ \ \   \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=0.54 $

$\mathrm{Cl}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \ \ \  \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=1.36 $

$\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \ \ \  \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=1.50 $

$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \ \ \  \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=0.77 $

$\mathrm{O}_2+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \ \ \  \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=1.23$
