Statement 1: Cu is less reactive than hydrogen.Statement 2: ECu2+/Cuo is negative.
Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect
Statement 1 is correct statement 2 is incorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect statement 2 is correct
Electrode potential of Cu2+/Cu is +0.34 V and electrode potential of 2H+/H2 is 0.00 V.Hence, correct reason is due to positive value of Cu2+/Cu it is less reactive than hydrogen.
