Question

Assertion: A solution of gold chloride can not be stored is a silver vessel\ Reason: The standard reduction potential of $\mathrm{Au}^{3+}$ is higher than that of $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Ag is more reactive than Au $\mathrm{E}^{0}$ values $\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag}=0.80 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{Au}^{3+} / \mathrm{Au}=1.40 \mathrm{~V}$\
