AP EAMCET · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements

Given below are two statements
Assertion (A): All Cu (II) halides are known except the iodide
Reason (R): \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) oxidizes \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\)to \(\mathrm{I}_2\)
The correct answer is

  1. A Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)
  2. B Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct but \((\mathrm{R})\) is not the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)
  3. C (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
  4. D (A) is not correct but ( \(\mathrm{R})\) is correct

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=+0.34 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{I}_2 / \mathrm{I}^{-}}^{\circ}=0.54 \\ & 2 \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+4 \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CuI}+\mathrm{I}_2\end{aligned}\) Despite the above values…
