A smuggler could not carry gold by depositing iron on gold surface since

Answer»

gold has higher standard reduction potential than iron
gold has lower standard reduction potential than iron
gold is denser
iron rusts

Solution :A SMUGGLER could not carry gold by deposting iron on gold surfase. We KNOW that GREATER is the standard ELECTRODE potential of an electrode, the more is the TENDENCY of its ion to get induced. Since the standard reduction potential of `Au^(3+)//Au` is greater than `Fe^(2+)//Fe`, iron cannot be deposited on gold by electroplating.
