The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the redox reaction \( xCu_3P + yCr_2O_7^{2-} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + H_3PO_4 + Cr^{3+} \), we will analyze the oxidation states, identify oxidation and reduction processes, and balance the reaction. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation states 1. **Copper in \( Cu_3P \)**: - In \( Cu_3P \), copper (Cu) has an oxidation state of +1. - Phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of -3. 2. **Dichromate ion \( Cr_2O_7^{2-} \)**: - Chromium (Cr) has an oxidation state of +6. - Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. 3. **Products**: - In \( Cu^{2+} \), copper has an oxidation state of +2. - In \( H_3PO_4 \), phosphorus has an oxidation state of +5. - In \( Cr^{3+} \), chromium has an oxidation state of +3. ### Step 2: Identify oxidation and reduction - **Oxidation**: - Copper is oxidized from +1 in \( Cu_3P \) to +2 in \( Cu^{2+} \). - Phosphorus is oxidized from -3 in \( Cu_3P \) to +5 in \( H_3PO_4 \). - **Reduction**: - Chromium is reduced from +6 in \( Cr_2O_7^{2-} \) to +3 in \( Cr^{3+} \). ### Step 3: Analyze the statements 1. **Statement 1**: "Copper in \( Cu_3P \) is oxidized to \( Cu^{2+} \) whereas phosphorus in \( Cu_3P \) is also oxidized to \( PO_4^{3-} \)." - **Correct**: Both copper and phosphorus undergo oxidation. 2. **Statement 2**: "Copper in \( Cu_3P \) is oxidized to \( Cu^{2+} \) whereas phosphorus in \( Cu_3P \) is reduced to \( H_3PO_4 \)." - **Incorrect**: Phosphorus is oxidized, not reduced. 3. **Statement 3**: "In the conversion of \( Cu_3P \) to \( Cu^{2+} \) and \( H_3PO_4 \), 11 electrons are involved." - **Correct**: This can be verified by balancing the half-reaction. 4. **Statement 4**: "The value of \( x \) in the balanced equation is 6." - **Correct**: After balancing the complete reaction, we find \( x = 6 \). ### Step 4: Conclusion - The correct statements are 1, 3, and 4. ### Final Answer The correct statements are: 1. Copper in \( Cu_3P \) is oxidized to \( Cu^{2+} \) whereas phosphorus in \( Cu_3P \) is also oxidized to \( PO_4^{3-} \). 3. In the conversion of \( Cu_3P \) to \( Cu^{2+} \) and \( H_3PO_4 \), 11 electrons are involved. 4. The value of \( x \) in the balanced equation is 6.
