See the following redox reaction

A2+ + 2e- → A; E° = +0.34 V

   A+ + e- → A; E° = +0.52 V

Which ion is expected to be stable?

  • A2+

  • A+

  • Both can form stable complexes

  • None can form stable complexes


A.

A2+

The magnitude of the standard electrode potential is a measure ofthe tendency of the half reaction to occur in the forward direction, i.e., in the direction of reduction.
Thus, if any element exists in more than one oxidation state, their relative stabilities can be known from the standard electrode potential data. For example in case of copper, we have

A2+ + 2e- → A; E° = +0.34 V

A+ + 2e- → A; E° = +0.52 V

Thus, Cu+ is reduced more easily hence less stable than Cu2+. This is because although second ionisaton enthalpy of copper is large but enthalpy of hydration for Cu2+(aq) is much more negative than that for Cu+(aq) and hence it is more than compensates for the second ionisation enthalpy of copper.
