Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their E_(@) with respect to normal hydrogen electrode values. Using the data obtain the correct explanation to question given below. {:(I_(2)+2e^(-)rarr2I^(-),E^(@)=0.54),(Cl_(2)+2e^(-)rarr2Cl^(-),E^(@)=1.36),(Mn^(2+)+e^(-)rarrMn^(2+),E^(@)=1.50),(Fe^(3+)+e^(-)rarrFe^(2+),E^(@)=0.77),(O_(2)+4H^(+)+4e^(-)rarr2H_(2)O,E^(@)=1.23):} While Fe^(2+) is stable, Mn^(3+) is not stable in acid solution because:

Redox reactions play a vital role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential (E^(@)) of two half-cells reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniell cell in which zince goes into solution and copper gets deposited.
