The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the redox couples and their standard reduction potentials (E° values), we need to determine which species can be reduced by another based on their E° values. The higher the E° value, the stronger the oxidizing agent, and thus the more likely it is to be reduced. ### Given E° values: 1. \( \text{Br}_2 | \text{Br}^- = +1.90 \) 2. \( \text{Ag}^+ | \text{Ag (s)} = +0.80 \) 3. \( \text{Cu}^{2+} | \text{Cu (s)} = +0.34 \) 4. \( \text{I}_2 (s) | \text{I}^- = +0.54 \) ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reducing and Oxidizing Agents**: - A species with a higher E° value can reduce a species with a lower E° value. - Thus, we will compare the E° values to determine which species can reduce which. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: Can Cu reduce Br2?** - E° of \( \text{Br}_2 \) is +1.90 (higher than Cu's +0.34). - Therefore, Cu cannot reduce Br2. - **Option B: Can Cu reduce Ag?** - E° of \( \text{Ag}^+ \) is +0.80 (higher than Cu's +0.34). - Therefore, Cu cannot reduce Ag. - **Option C: Can Cu reduce I-?** - Here, we need to consider the reverse reaction: \( \text{I}_2 \) to \( \text{I}^- \) with E° = +0.54. - Since +0.54 is higher than +0.34, Cu cannot reduce I-. - **Option D: Can Cu reduce Br-?** - This option is a bit tricky. We need to consider the reverse of the reaction \( \text{Br}^- \) to \( \text{Br}_2 \). - The E° for \( \text{Br}_2 \) is +1.90, which is much higher than Cu's +0.34. - Therefore, Cu can reduce Br2, as it can donate electrons to Br2 and be oxidized. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only correct option is that Cu can reduce \( \text{Br}_2 \). ### Final Answer: - **Correct Option: D - Cu can reduce Br2.**
