The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the statements provided regarding the Standard Reduction Potential (SRP) of a substance and water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Standard Reduction Potential (SRP)**: - The Standard Reduction Potential (SRP) indicates the tendency of a substance to gain electrons (be reduced). A more positive SRP means a greater tendency to be reduced. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that if the SRP of a substance is -0.5 V, then the reduction of the substance is possible only in a basic medium. - The SRP of water is -0.8274 V, which means that at pH 7 (neutral), the reduction potential for water is zero. - For a substance with an SRP of -0.5 V, it is indeed greater than -0.8274 V. Therefore, it can be reduced in a basic medium where the potential is higher (less negative). 3. **Condition for Reduction**: - The condition for reduction in basic medium is that the SRP of the substance must be greater than the SRP of water (which is -0.8274 V). - In this case, since -0.5 V is greater than -0.8274 V, reduction is possible in basic medium. 4. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Thus, Statement 1 is **True**. 5. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that the SRP of water is -0.8274 V. - However, the correct SRP of water is actually -1.23 V. - Therefore, this statement is **False**. 6. **Final Answer**: - Since Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is False, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. ### Summary: - **Statement 1**: True - **Statement 2**: False - **Final Answer**: C (Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false)
