The correct Answer is:
To determine the unfavorable electrochemical reaction among the given options, we will analyze each reaction based on the principles of displacement reactions and the electrochemical series. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Displacement Reactions**: Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound. The feasibility of these reactions can be predicted using the electrochemical series. 2. **Analyzing the First Reaction**: - **Reaction**: Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2 - **Analysis**: Zinc (Zn) is more reactive than hydrogen (H). Therefore, Zn can displace H from H2SO4 to form ZnSO4 and hydrogen gas. This reaction is favorable. 3. **Analyzing the Second Reaction**: - **Reaction**: KI + Cl2 → KCl + I2 - **Analysis**: Chlorine (Cl2) is more reactive than iodine (I2). Thus, Cl2 can displace I from KI to form KCl and I2. This reaction is also favorable. 4. **Analyzing the Third Reaction**: - **Reaction**: KCl + I2 → KI + ICl - **Analysis**: In this case, iodine (I2) is less reactive than chlorine (Cl2). Therefore, I2 cannot displace Cl from KCl. This reaction is not feasible and is unfavorable. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the unfavorable electrochemical reaction among the options is: - **KCl + I2 → KI + ICl** ### Final Answer: The unfavorable electrochemical reaction is **KCl + I2 → KI + ICl**. ---
