The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct among the given options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** Copper liberates Hydrogen from Acids. **Explanation:** - Copper (Cu) has a standard electrode potential of +0.34 V. - In the electrochemical series, metals that can liberate hydrogen from acids must have a more negative electrode potential than hydrogen (which is 0 V). - Since copper is above hydrogen in the electrochemical series, it cannot displace hydrogen from acids. - Therefore, this statement is **not correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement:** In its higher oxidation state, manganese forms stable compounds with oxygen and fluorine. **Explanation:** - Manganese can exhibit multiple oxidation states, with +4 and +7 being common. - In the +4 oxidation state, manganese forms stable compounds such as manganese dioxide (MnO2). - In the +7 oxidation state, it forms potassium permanganate (KMnO4), which is also stable. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement:** Ti²⁺ and Cr²⁺ are reducing agents in aqueous solution. **Explanation:** - Titanium in the +2 oxidation state (Ti²⁺) and chromium in the +2 oxidation state (Cr²⁺) can act as reducing agents. - They can donate electrons to other species, thus reducing them while being oxidized themselves. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, we find that **Option 1** is the statement that is **not correct**. ### Final Answer **Option 1 is not correct: Copper does not liberate hydrogen from acids.** ---

To determine which statement is not correct among the given options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** Copper liberates Hydrogen from Acids. **Explanation:** - Copper (Cu) has a standard electrode potential of +0.34 V. - In the electrochemical series, metals that can liberate hydrogen from acids must have a more negative electrode potential than hydrogen (which is 0 V). ...
