JEE Main 9 April 2024, Shift 1, Chemistry Q85

Question 85 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 25 of 30, Section B.

The standard reduction potentials at 298 K for the following half cells are given below :

\mathrm{Cr_2O_7^{2-}} + 14\mathrm{H^+} + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Cr^{3+}} + 7\mathrm{H_2O}

E^\circ = 1.33

\mathrm{Fe^{3+}(aq)} + 3e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}

E^\circ = -0.04

\mathrm{Ni^{2+}(aq)} + 2e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}

E^\circ = -0.25

\mathrm{Ag^+(aq)} + e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{Ag}

E^\circ = 0.80

\mathrm{Au^{3+}(aq)} + 3e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{Au}

E^\circ = 1.40

V Consider the given electrochemical reactions, The number of metal(s) which will be oxidized be
