The standard electrode potential of copper is positive. Which of the following statements is not true?
- A H+ ions get reduced more easily than Cu2+ ions
- B Cu does not dissolve in HCI
- C Cu is oxidised by nitrate ion in nitric acid
- D H ions cannot oxidise copper
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) H+ ions get reduced more easily than Cu2+ ions
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(E^\circ(\text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu}) > E^\circ(\text{H}^+/\text{H}_2)\) Thus, \( \text{Cu}^{2+} \) ions are reduced more easily than \( \text{H}^+ \) ions. Therefore, the statement "H+ ions get reduced more easily than Cu2+ ions" is not true.

Werner in 1898, propounded his theory of coordination compounds. In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages (valences)-primary and secondary. The primary valences are normally ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions. The secondary valences are non-ionisable. These are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number and is fixed for a metal. The ions or group bound by the secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to the different coordination numbers. Both double salts as well as complexes are formed by the combination of two or more stable compounds in stoichiometric ratio. However, they differ in the fact that double salts such as carnallite, Mohr's salt, potash alum etc. dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water. But complex ions do not dissociate completely into simple ions.

Carbohydrates are essential for both plants and animals. Some common examples of carbohydrates are glucose, fructose, sucrose, glycogen, cellulose and starch. They form a major portion of our food. Honey has been used for a long time as an instant source of energy in Ayurvedic medicine. Carbohydrates are used as storage molecules in both plants and animals. The cell wall of bacteria and plants is made of cellulose. We use cellulose in the form of wood for making furniture and as cotton fiber for clothing. They also provide raw material for textiles, paper, lacquers, and breweries. Carbohydrates are classified as Monosaccharides, Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides on the basis of their behavior towards hydrolysis.
Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further to simpler units whereas oligosaccharides can yield 2-10 units of monosaccharides on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides, which are non-sugars yield a large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis.
