Consider the reactions:
- \[\ce{H3PO2(aq) + 4 AgNO3(aq) + 2 H2O(l) → H3PO4(aq) + 4Ag(s) + 4HNO3(aq)}\]
- \[\ce{H3PO2(aq) + 2CuSO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l) → H3PO4(aq) + 2Cu(s) + H2SO4(aq)}\]
- \[\ce{C6H5CHO(l) + 2[Ag (NH3)2]+(aq) + 3OH–(aq) → C6H5COO–(aq) + 2Ag(s) + 4NH3 (aq) + 2 H2O(l)}\]
- \[\ce{C6H5CHO(l) + 2Cu^{2+}(aq) + 5OH–(aq) → No change observed}\]
What inference do you draw about the behaviour of Ag+ and Cu2+ from these reactions?

उत्तर
Reactions (a) and (b) indicate that H3PO2 (hypophosphorous acid) is a reducing agent and thus reduces both AgNO3 and CuSO4 to Ag and Cu respectively. Conversely, both AgNO3 and CuSO4 act as oxidising agent and thus oxidise H3PO2to H3PO4 (orthophosphoric acid) Reaction (c) suggests that [Ag(NH3)2]+ oxidises C6H5CHO (benzaldehyde) to C6H5COO– (benzoate ion) but reaction (d) indicates that Cu2+ ions cannot oxidise C6H5CHO to C6H5COO–. Therefore, from the above reactions, we conclude that Ag+ ion is a strong oxidising agent than Cu2+ ion.
