Assertion: Aquated copper(I) cation unde...

Assertion: Aquated copper(I) cation undergoes disproportionation as:
`2Cu^(+)(aq) to Cu^(2+)(aq)+Cu`
Reason: Hydration energy of `Cu^(2+)` is higher than that of `Cu^(+)` which compensates second ionisation energy of Cu.

    `Cu^(+)` has `d^(10)` configuration
    B
    `Cu^(2+)` has `d^(10)` configuration
    C
    hydration energy of `Cu^(2+)` is higher than that of `Cu^(+)` which compensates second ionisation energy of Cu.
    D

  • Statement-1: Many copper (I) compound are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo disproportionation. Statement-2: Cu^(2+) I mre stable than Cu^(+) because of much more negative Delta_(hyd)H^(@) of Cu^(2+) than Cu^(+) , which more than compensates for seconds ionisation enthalpy.

    A
    Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
    B
    Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for statement-1
