The unique behaviour of CU, having a pos...

The unique behaviour of CU, having a positive `E^(@)` (reduction potential) accounts for its inability to liberate `H_(2)` from acids,. Only oxidising acids (nitric acid and hot concentrated sulphuric acid) react with Cu. The high energy of transform Cu(s) to `Cu^(2+)(aq.)` is not balanced by its hydration enthalpy.
On the other hand, All Cu(II) halides are known except iodide. in this case, `Cu^(2+)` oxidises `I^(-)` to `I_(2)`:
`2Cu^(2+)+4I^(-) to 2CuI(s)+I_(2)`
However, copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution annd undergo disproportionation.
`2Cu^(+)(aq.)toCu^(2+)(aq.)+Cu`
The stability of `Cu^(2+)(aq.)` rather than `Cu^(+)(aq)` is due to the much more negative `Delta_(Hyd)` of `Cu^(2+)(aq.)` than `Cu^(+)(aq.)`
Q. Select the correct chemical change:

A

`Cu+Dil.H_(2)SO_(4) to CuSO_(4)+H_(2)(g)`

B

`Cu+dil.HNO_(3) to Cu(NO_(3))_(2)+N_(2)O(g)`

C

`CuSO_(4)(aq.)+KCN(excess)toK_(2)[Cu(CN)_(4)]`

D

`CuSO_(4)(aq.)+NH_(4)OH to Cu(OH)_(2)darr`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct chemical change involving copper, we will analyze each option based on the information provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Copper's Reactivity**: - Copper (Cu) has a positive standard reduction potential (E°), which means it does not liberate hydrogen gas (H2) from non-oxidizing acids (like dilute sulfuric acid). - It only reacts with oxidizing acids (like concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid). 2. **Analyzing the First Reaction**: - **Reaction**: Cu + dilute H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2 - Since dilute H2SO4 is a non-oxidizing acid, copper cannot react with it to liberate H2. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **not correct**. 3. **Analyzing the Second Reaction**: - **Reaction**: Cu + dilute HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + N2O - Dilute HNO3 is an oxidizing acid and can oxidize copper. However, the product stated is N2O, which is incorrect. The actual product is NO2. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **not correct**. 4. **Analyzing the Third Reaction**: - **Reaction**: CuSO4 + KCN → K2CuCN4 - The correct reaction should yield K3Cu(CN)4, not K2CuCN4. The copper(II) ion reacts with cyanide to form a complex, but the stoichiometry is incorrect in the option. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **not correct**. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Reaction**: - **Reaction**: CuSO4 + NH4OH → Cu(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 - This is a basic double displacement reaction. The products are correctly stated as copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) and ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4). - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct chemical change is: **CuSO4 aqueous + NH4OH → Cu(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4** ---

On the other hand, All Cu(II) halides are known except iodide. in this case, Cu^(2+) oxidises I^(-) to I_(2) : 2Cu^(2+)+4I^(-) to 2CuI(s)+I_(2) However, copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution annd undergo disproportionation. 2Cu^(+)(aq.)toCu^(2+)(aq.)+Cu The stability of Cu^(2+)(aq.) rather than Cu^(+)(aq) is due to the much more negative Delta_(Hyd) of Cu^(2+)(aq.) than Cu^(+)(aq.) Q. Consider the following transformation: CuSO_(4)(aq.)+KI(excess)to product Select the correct statement:

All Cu(II) halides are known except the iodide. The reason for it is that

Assertion (A) Cu (II) iodide is not known. Reason (R ) Cu^(2+) oxidises I^(-) to iodine.

Assertion: Aquated copper(I) cation undergoes disproportionation as: 2Cu^(+)(aq) to Cu^(2+)(aq)+Cu Reason: Hydration energy of Cu^(2+) is higher than that of Cu^(+) which compensates second ionisation energy of Cu.

Assertion: Aquated copper(I) cation undergoes disproportionation as: 2Cu^(+)(aq) to Cu^(2+)(aq)+Cu Reason: Hydration energy of Cu^(2+) is higher than that of Cu^(+) which compensates second ionisation energy of Cu.

Assertion (A) Cu^(2+) iodide is not known. Reason (R ) Cu^(2+) oxidises I^(-) to iodine.

Cu^(2+)(aq.) is unstable in solution and under goes simultaneous oxidation and reduction according to the reaction 2Cu^(+)(aq.)hArr Cu^(2+)(aq.)+Cu(s) Choose the correct E^(@) for the above reaction if E_(Cu^(2+))^(@)//Cu = 0.34 V and E_(Cu^(2+))^(@)//Cu^(+) = 0.15 V

The reduction potential diagram for Cu in acid solution is : Calculate X . Does Cu^(+) disproportionate in solution ?

Cu^(+) ion is not stable in aqueous solution because because of dispropotionation reaction. E^(@) value of disproportionation of Cu^(+) is [E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu^(+))^(@)=+ 0.15 V, E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(@)=0.34 V]
