Assign reason for the following Copper (i) ion is not known in aqueous solutions. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Assign reason for the FOLLOWING: Copper (I) ion is not known in aqueous solutions. `2Cu^(+) rarr Cu^(2+) + 2 Cu` The GREATER stability of `Cu^(2+)` ion as compared to `Cu^+` is due to the much more negative `Delta_(hydH)` of`Cu^(2+)`than `Cu_((aq))^(+)`which mor than compensates for the SECOND ionization enthalpy of Cu. |
