JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

Given below are two statements Statement \(I :\) The \(E ^{\circ}\) value of \(Ce ^{4+} / Ce ^{3+}\) is \(+1.74 \,V\) Statement \(II :\) \(Ce\) is more stable in \(Ce ^{4+}\) state than \(Ce ^{3+}\) state. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  1. A Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are correct
  2. B Statement \(I\) is incorrect but statement \(II\) is correct
  3. C Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are incorrect
  4. D Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The \(E ^{\circ}\) value for \(Ce ^{4+} / Ce ^{3+}\) is \(+1.74 V\) because the most stable oxidation state of lanthanide series elements is \(+3\) . It means \(Ce ^{3+}\) is more stable than \(Ce ^{4+}\)
