The stability field of water shows:
the region of pH and reduction potential where couples are oxidized by hydrogen ions but cannot reduce hydrogen ions
correct
incorrect
the region of pH and reduction potential where couples are not oxidized by hydrogen ions but can reduce hydrogen ions

The
E
o
of the Fe
3+
/Fe
2+
couple is equal to +0.77 V. If a solution containing Fe
2+
is exposed to air, and if O
2
(g)/H
2
O(l) and H
+
(aq)/H
2
(g) reduction potentials are +1.23 V and 0.00 V respectively, then:
The Fe
2+
will remain unchanged because its
E
o
is in the stability field of water.
correct
incorrect
The Fe
2+
will slowly be oxidized to Fe
3+
by atmospheric oxygen.
correct
incorrect
Fe
2+
will slowly and spontaneously oxidize H
+
to H

Which statement is the correct one?
Comproportionation is a redox reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is simultaneously raised and lowered. Disproportionation is the opposite of comproportionation.
correct
incorrect
Disproportionation is a reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is raised. Comproportionation is a reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is lowered.
correct
incorrect
Disproportionation is a redox reaction in which the oxidation number of an element is simultaneously raised and lowered. Comproportionation is the opposite of disproportionation.

Which statement is correct in reference to the Ellingham diagram?
For temperatures at which the C/CO line lies above the metal oxide line, C can be used to reduce the metal oxide. The C is oxidized to CO.
correct
incorrect
For temperatures at which the C/CO line lies below the metal oxide line, C can be used to reduce the metal oxide. The C is oxidized to CO.
correct
incorrect
For temperatures at which the CO/CO
2
line lies below the metal oxide line, C can be used to reduce the metal oxide. The C is oxidized to CO.

Find the correct statement concerning the Latimer diagrams:
Latimer diagrams are also called oxidation diagrams
correct
incorrect
The data from the Latimer diagrams cannot be used when calculating the standard potentials of redox reactions.
correct
incorrect
Latimer diagram contains different chemical species of an element with the most highly oxidized species on the left and the most reduced species of the element on the right
