Questions
Assertion (A): Cu cannot liberate hydrogen from acids.
Reason (R): Because it has positive electrode potential.
Assertion (A): Cu cannot liberate H2 on reaction with dilute mineral acids.
Reason (R): Cu has positive electrode potential.
Options
Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Solution
Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation:
Copper has a positive electrode potential, so it is less reactive than hydrogen and cannot displace H+ ions from dilute acids to release hydrogen gas.
