Question
Two metals M1 and M2 have reduction potential values of −xV and +yV respectively. Which will liberate H2 and H2SO4.

Solution
Metals having negative reduction potential act as powerful reducing agents. Since M1 has – xV, therefore M1 easily liberates H2 in H2SO4. Metals having higher oxidation potential will liberate H2 from H2SO4. Hence, the metal M1 having +xV, oxidation potential will liberate H2 from H2SO4.
