Given below are two statements $:$
$1 \ M$ aqueous solution of each of $Cu(NO_3)_2, AgNO_3, Hg_2(NO_3)_2$ and $Mg(NO_3)_2$ are electrolysed using inert electrodes.
Given $: E_{Ag^{+}/Ag}^{\theta} = 0.80 \ V, E_{Hg_2^{2+}/Hg}^{\theta} = 0.79 \ V, E_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}^{\theta} = 0.24 \ V$ and $E_{Mg^{2+}/Mg}^{\theta} = -2.37 \ V$.
Statement $(I) :$ With increasing voltage,the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be $Ag, Hg$ and $Cu$.
Statement $(II) :$ Magnesium will not be deposited at cathode instead oxygen gas will be evolved at the cathode.
In the light of the above statement,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are incorrect
  • B
    Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect
  • C
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are correct
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct
