Q.

Statement-1: Many copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous
solution and undergo disproportionation
Statement-2: Cu2+ is more stable than Cu+ because of much more negative ΔhydH of Cu2+ than Cu+, which more than compensates for second ionisation enthalpy.

Detailed Solution

In an aqueous solution, many copper compounds become unstable and undergo a disproportionation reaction.
Cuprous ion (Cu+) is unstable in an aqueous medium because the stability of the aqueous medium depends on the energy of hydration.
In an aqueous solution, Cu+ is oxidised to produce stable form of Cu2+.
