Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B), (D) and (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) True, \(\mathrm{T} \ell^{+}\)is more stable than \(\mathrm{T} \ell^{3+}\), due to inert pair effect. So \(\mathrm{T} \ell^{3+}\) is a powerful oxidising agent. (ii) True, \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Al}^{3+/ A 1}}^0=-1.66 \mathrm{~V}\). So it is difficult to reduce…
