When a rod of metal $A$ is dipped in an aqueous solution of metal $B$ (concentration of $B^{2+}$ ion being $1 \ M$) at $25 \ ^oC$,the standard electrode potentials are $E^o_{A^{2+}/A} = -0.76 \ V$ and $E^o_{B^{2+}/B} = +0.34 \ V$. What will happen?

  • A
    $A$ will gradually dissolve
  • B
    $B$ will deposit on $A$
  • C
    No reaction will occur
  • D
    Water will decompose into $H_2$ and $O_2$
