The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given transformation and determine what the anion \(X^-\) can be in the reaction: \[ 2CuX_2 \overset{\text{Room temperature}}{\rightarrow} 2CuX + X_2 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - The reaction involves the decomposition of \(CuX_2\) into \(CuX\) and \(X_2\). This indicates that \(X\) must be a halogen or a similar anion that can form a stable compound with copper. 2. **Identifying Possible Anions**: - The possible anions given are: \(F^-\), \(Br^-\), \(Cl^-\), \(CN^-\), and \(I^-\). - We need to determine which of these anions can form a stable \(CuX\) compound and decompose to release \(X_2\) at room temperature. 3. **Analyzing Each Anion**: - **For \(F^-\)**: \(CuF_2\) is stable, but \(F_2\) is a very reactive molecule and is unlikely to form under these conditions. - **For \(Br^-\)**: \(CuBr_2\) is stable and can decompose to \(CuBr\) and \(Br_2\) at room temperature. - **For \(Cl^-\)**: \(CuCl_2\) is stable and can decompose to \(CuCl\) and \(Cl_2\) at room temperature. - **For \(CN^-\)**: \(Cu(CN)_2\) is known to be unstable and can decompose to \(CuCN\) and \(CN^-\) at room temperature. - **For \(I^-\)**: \(CuI_2\) is also unstable and can decompose to \(CuI\) and \(I_2\) at room temperature. 4. **Conclusion**: - The anions \(CN^-\) and \(I^-\) are unstable and can decompose to produce \(CuCN\) and \(CuI\) respectively, which aligns with the reaction given. Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ X^- = CN^- \text{ and } I^- \] ### Final Answer: The possible values for \(X^-\) are \(CN^-\) and \(I^-\). ---
