What do you infer from the fact that `M^(3+)//M^(2+)` standard electrode potential of Mn is comparatively higher and that of Fe is comparitively lower ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`M^(3+)//M^(2+)` standard electrode potential of Mn is comparatively higher than that of Fe is comparatively lower. This is because much larger `3^(rd)` ionisation energy of Mn `(d^(5)" to "d^(4))`.

Redox reactions play a pivotal role I chemistry and bilogy . The values of standard redox potential (E^(@)) of two half - cell reaction decided which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper get deposited. Given below are a set of half 0 cell reactions ( acidic medium ) along with their E^(@) values ( with respect to normal hydrogen electrode ) Using this data : I_2 + 2e^(-) to 2I^(-) E^(@) = 0.54 , Cl_2 + 2e^(-) to 2Cl^(-) " "E=1.36V Mn^(3+) + e^(-) to Mn^(2+) E^(@) = 1.50 , Fe^(3+) + e^(-) to Fe^(2+) E = 0.77V O_2 +4H^(+) + 4e^(-) to 2H_2O" " E^(@) = 1.23 , While Fe^(3+) is stable , Mn^(3+) is not stable in acid solution because :
