The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. The goal is to determine which statements about the reactions are correct based on the reduction potentials provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions and Their Potentials:** - For A: \( A^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow A(s) \) with \( E^\circ = 0.08 \, V \) - For B: \( B^{+} + e^- \rightarrow B(s) \) with \( E^\circ = -0.64 \, V \) - For X: \( X_2(g) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2X^{-} \) with \( E^\circ = 1.03 \, V \) 2. **Determine the Oxidizing and Reducing Agents:** - The species with the highest reduction potential acts as the strongest oxidizing agent. Here, \( X_2 \) has the highest potential (1.03 V), followed by \( A^{2+} \) (0.08 V), and \( B^{+} \) (-0.64 V). - Thus, \( X_2 \) will oxidize both \( A \) and \( B \). 3. **Evaluate Statement A:** - Statement A claims that \( X_2 \) will oxidize both \( A \) and \( B \). Since \( X_2 \) has a higher reduction potential than both \( A^{2+} \) and \( B^{+} \), this statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate Statement B:** - Statement B claims that \( A^{2+} \) can oxidize \( B \). Since \( A^{2+} \) (0.08 V) has a higher reduction potential than \( B^{+} \) (-0.64 V), \( A^{2+} \) can indeed oxidize \( B \). Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. 5. **Evaluate Statement C:** - Statement C involves the reaction where \( X^{-} \) is oxidized and \( A^{2+} \) is reduced. The cell potential \( E_{cell} \) can be calculated as follows: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ_{reduction} - E^\circ_{oxidation} = 0.08 \, V - 1.03 \, V = -0.95 \, V \] - Since \( E_{cell} \) is negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous. Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. 6. **Evaluate Statement D:** - Statement D discusses the order of oxidizing power. The order based on reduction potentials is: - \( X_2 \) (1.03 V) > \( A^{2+} \) (0.08 V) > \( B^{+} \) (-0.64 V) - This order is correct, making this statement **correct**. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are A, B, and D. Statement C is incorrect.
