Q.
Which of the following set of ions act as oxidising agents [2024]

1 $C e^{4 +}$ and $T b^{4 +}$

2 $L a^{3 +}$ and $L u^{3 +}$

3 $E u^{2 +}$ and $Y b^{2 +}$

4 $E u^{2 +}$ and $T b^{4 +}$

Ans.
(1)

The formation of Ce(IV) is favoured by its noble gas configuration, but it is a strong oxidant reverting to the common +3 state. The $E °$ value for ${Ce}^{4 +} / {Ce}^{3 +}$ is +1.74 V which suggests that it can oxidise water. Tb(IV) has half-filled $f$ -orbitals and is an oxidant.

Q. Which of the following set of ions act as oxidising agents [2024]

1 Ce4+ and Tb4+

2 La3+ and Lu3+

3 Eu2+ and Yb2+

4 Eu2+ and Tb4+

Ans. (1) The formation of Ce(IV) is favoured by its noble gas configuration, but it is a strong oxidant reverting to the common +3 state. The E° value for Ce4+/Ce3+ is +1.74 V which suggests that it can oxidise water. Tb(IV) has half-filled f-orbitals and is an oxidant.
