Assertion (A) Cu (II) iodide is not know...

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

A

Both A and Rare true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false and R is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Cu^(2+)` oxidises iodide to iodine hence cupric iodide is converted to cuprous iodide.

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

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:

Assertion(A) Cu is less reactive than hydrogen. Reason(R) E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(o+) is negative.

Assertion : O_(3) acts as a powerful oxidising agent. Reason : O_(3) oxidises lead sulphide to lead sulphate and iodide ions to iodine.
