The stability of Cu2+ is more than Cu+ salts in aqueous solution due to - (A) enthalpy of atomizatio — NEET Chemistry Past Papers Chemistry Question
Question
The stability of Cu2+ is more than Cu+ salts in aqueous solution due to - (A) enthalpy of atomization. (B) hydration energy. (C) second ionisation enthalpy. (D) first ionisation enthalpy.
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
Cu(s) → Cu(g) → + (g) Cu → +2 (g) Cu → +2 (aq) Cu Hatomisation IE1 IE2 Hydration energy Cu+2 is more stable than Cu+1 because released hydration energy is more in case of Cu+2 than Cu+1.
