The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement based on the principles of redox reactions and electrochemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The statement claims that a solution of `FeSO4` can be stored in a copper vessel. - To determine if this is true, we need to consider the reactivity of iron (Fe) and copper (Cu). 2. **Reactivity Series**: - In the reactivity series, metals are arranged in order of decreasing reactivity. - Iron is more reactive than copper. This means that iron can displace copper from its compounds, but not vice versa. 3. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Since iron is more reactive than copper, a copper vessel will not react with `FeSO4`. Therefore, it is safe to store `FeSO4` in a copper vessel. - **Statement 1 is true**. 4. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The statement claims that the standard reduction potential (E°) of copper is less than that of iron. - The standard reduction potential for copper (Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu) is +0.34 V, while for iron (Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Fe) it is -0.44 V. 5. **Comparison of Standard Reduction Potentials**: - Since +0.34 V (Cu) is greater than -0.44 V (Fe), this means that copper has a higher reduction potential than iron. - **Statement 2 is false**. 6. **Final Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is true: A solution of `FeSO4` can be stored in a copper vessel. - Statement 2 is false: The E° of copper is greater than that of iron, not less. ### Summary: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: False
