Q.

A solution containing one mole per litre of each Cu(NO3)2,AgNO3,Hg2(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2 is being electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The values of standard electrode potentials in volts (reduction potentials) are Ag/Ag+=+0.80,2Hg/Hg22+=+0.79,Cu/Cu2+=+0.34, Mg/Mg2+=2.37V  with increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be
