a)H+ b)Li+
c)Be 2+ d)Al 3+

2) For the balanced redox reac.n -

aNO3- + bAs2S3 +4H2O -------> xAsO4-3 + yNO + z3SO4 2- + 8H+
Identify the Incorrect statement (Single Option Correct) -

a) Equivalent weight of As2S3 =M/28 where M=its molecular weight.
b) a:b = 28:3
c) Value of (a+2b)/(x+y) is = 1.

First one is correct .

for second ,

3 As2S3 + 4 H2O + 10 HNO3 + 18 NaNO3 → 9 Na2SO4 + 6 H3AsO4 + 28 NO

if we compare the above equation with your given equation then,
a =10
b=3
x=6
y=28
z=9

so,
now you can solve the problem .
I think this is not a single option correct problem.
check it , whether i am right !!!!!!

Yeah, i gave the same answers, but they went negative [138]

Anyways, the answers given were.......(d) for both...

Q.1) Any explanation for why it is not H+ ?

Smaller the cation, greater is degree of hydration. Is that what you mean aieeee? isliye H+ ka sabse zyaada hydration enthalpy hona chaiye...
Lithium has highest hydration enthalpy within alkali metals. Maybe a proton should have greater h energy, as it is the smallest cation.

right. one more point :
Also , H+ forms coordinate bond with H2O , forming H3O+ ; which is a tronger bond than the hydrogen bonded Li+

well for (1) (d) is correct..

ethalpy of hydration is max. for Al3+... cant think of any reason though

found this and this

FOR H+ .. in the above link,
hydration enthalpy = -1130 kJ

Googling helps a bit more here....

"The hydration enthalpy increases with increasing charge on the ion, whereas it decreases with increasing size of the ion."

Infact, Hhydration = - Ze2/ 2r*{1-1/d}

(Z=ionic charge, r=radius, d=dielectric const. of medium)

So v shud be able to use it like, whichever has a higher Z/r ratio shud have a more -ve value of Hyd. enthalpy.
