Q35 / 150 · MHT CET 2008 · Chemistry
$\mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)$ is unstable in solution and undergoes simultaneous oxidation and reduction, according to the reaction
$2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)$
choose correct $E^{\circ}$ for above reaction if
$E_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{~V}$ and $E_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}^{+}}^{\circ}=0.15 \mathrm{~V}$
- A$-0.38 \mathrm{~V}$
- B$+0.49 \mathrm{~V}$ $(\mathrm{c})+0.38 \mathrm{~V}$
- Correct answerC$-0.19 \mathrm{~V}$
- DNULL
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
