`Mn^(3+)` is a good oxidising agent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Mn^(3+)/Mn^(2+)` has large positive `E^(@)` value. Hence, `Mn^(3+)` can be easily reduced to `Mn^(2+)` Therefore , it is a good oxidising agent, Also , `Mn^(2+)` has half -filled electronic configurations , so it is more stable as compared to `Mn^(3+)`
