Correct answer: D
-
Analyze Statement I: " can be used for oxidation of aldehydes and ketones."
- Cerium commonly shows oxidation states and .
- In , cerium is in the oxidation state.
- is a good oxidizing agent, and cerium(IV) oxide is used in oxidation reactions in organic chemistry.
- Hence, can act as an oxidizing agent for suitable organic compounds, including aldehydes and ketones.
Therefore, Statement I is true.
-
Analyze Statement II: "Aqueous solution of is a strong reducing agent."
- In , europium is in the oxidation state because sulfate is .
- Europium commonly exists in and states.
- The ion readily gets oxidized to the more stable state in aqueous solution.
- Therefore, acts as a strong reducing agent.
Hence, aqueous is a strong reducing agent, so Statement II is true.
-
Conclusion:
- Statement I: True
- Statement II: True
So the correct option is:
-
