Value of standard electrode potential for the oxidation of \[\ce{Cl-}\] ions is more positive than that of water, even then in the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride, why is \[\ce{Cl-}\] oxidised at anode instead of water?
Assertion: Cu is less reactive than hydrogen.
Reason: `E_((Cu^(2+))/(Cu))^Θ` is negative.
