Correct answer: D
- Idea of the reaction
An ion will liberate hydrogen gas with dilute acid if it can reduce to :
So we check whether is a sufficiently strong reducing agent, i.e. whether it gets oxidized to easily:
This depends on the standard reduction potential for:
If is negative, then the reverse oxidation of is favorable enough to reduce to .
Using
with cathode reaction
and anode involving oxidation of , we get effectively:
Thus, reaction with acid occurs when:
- Check each ion
(A)
For titanium:
Hence,
So reduces and liberates .
(B)
For vanadium:
Hence,
So also liberates .
(C)
For chromium:
Hence,
So also liberates .
(D)
For manganese, the relevant oxidation would be:
But
Hence,
This is not spontaneous. Therefore does not reduce to .
- Conclusion
The ion which does not liberate hydrogen gas on reaction with dilute acids is:
So the correct option is D.
