Out of `Cr^(2+)` and `Cr^(3+)`, which one is stable in aqueous solution ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Cr^(3+)` is more stable in aqueous solution. This is due to greater hydration enthalpy due to smaller size and higher charge.

  • S_(1) : Mn^(2+) compounds more stable than Fe^(2+) towards oxidation to their +3 state. S_(2) : Titanium and copper both in the first series of transition metals exhibits +1 oxidation state most frequently. S_(3) : Cu^(+) ions is stable in aqueous solutions. S_(4) : The E^(0) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple much more positive than that for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) or Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) ,
