The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given standard reduction potentials and determine the feasibility of storing different compounds in specified vessels based on their electrochemical reactions. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Standard Reduction Potentials We are given the following standard reduction potentials: - \( E^\circ(Ag^+|Ag) = +0.80 \, V \) - \( E^\circ(Mg^{2+}|Mg) = -2.37 \, V \) - \( E^\circ(Cu^{2+}|Cu) = +0.34 \, V \) - \( E^\circ(Hg^{2+}|Hg) = +0.79 \, V \) ### Step 2: Analyze Each Statement We need to determine whether the statements regarding the storage of different compounds in specific vessels are correct or incorrect. #### Statement A: Silver nitrate can be stored in a copper vessel. - **Reaction**: \( Ag^+ + Cu \rightarrow Ag + Cu^{2+} \) - **Cell Potential Calculation**: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{cathode} - E^\circ_{anode} = 0.80 - 0.34 = 0.46 \, V \] - Since \( E^\circ_{cell} > 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous. Thus, **this statement is incorrect**. #### Statement B: Copper nitrate can be stored in a copper vessel. - **Reaction**: \( Cu^{2+} + Mg \rightarrow Cu + Mg^{2+} \) - **Cell Potential Calculation**: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 0.34 - (-2.37) = 0.34 + 2.37 = 2.71 \, V \] - Since \( E^\circ_{cell} > 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous. Thus, **this statement is incorrect**. #### Statement C: Cuprous chloride can be stored in a silver vessel. - **Reaction**: \( Cu^+ + 2Ag \rightarrow Cu + 2Ag^+ \) - **Cell Potential Calculation**: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 0.34 - 0.80 = -0.46 \, V \] - Since \( E^\circ_{cell} < 0 \), the reaction is not spontaneous. Thus, **this statement is correct**. #### Statement D: Mercury chloride can be stored in a copper vessel. - **Reaction**: \( Hg^{2+} + Cu \rightarrow Hg + Cu^{2+} \) - **Cell Potential Calculation**: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 0.79 - 0.34 = 0.45 \, V \] - Since \( E^\circ_{cell} > 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous. Thus, **this statement is incorrect**. ### Conclusion The incorrect statements are: - **Statement A**: Silver nitrate cannot be stored in a copper vessel. - **Statement B**: Copper nitrate cannot be stored in a copper vessel. - **Statement D**: Mercury chloride cannot be stored in a copper vessel. ### Final Answer The incorrect statements are A, B, and D.
