For `(M^(2+))/(M)` and `(M^(3+))/(M^(2+))` systems the `E^(ɵ)` values for some metals are as follows.
`(Cr^(2+))/(Cr) -0.9V, (Cr^(3+))/(Cr^(2+)) -0.4V`
`(Mn^(2+))/(Mn)-1.2V,(Mn^(3+))/(Mn^(2+)) +1.5V`
`(Fe^(2+))/(Fe) -0.4, (Fe^(3+))/(Fe^(2+)) +0.8V`
Use this data comment upon:
(i). The stability of `Fe^(3+)` in acid solutio as compared to that of `Cr^(3+)` or `Mn^(3+)` and ltbtgt (ii). The case with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.
