For and systems the E° values for some metals are as follows
Use this data to comment upon (i) the stability of in acid solution as compared to that of or and (ii) the ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.
| –0.9 V | –0.4 V | ||
| –1.2 V | +1.5 V | ||
| –0.4 V | +0.8 V |
Solution:
(i) From the E° values for for Cr, Mn and Fe, it is veryclear that is more stable than in an acidic medium, whereas lessstable than Cr3+ because of the higher reduction potential in comparison to and lower reduction potential than .(ii) Reduction potential for is most negative and therefore,it will be most easily oxidised and ease of getting oxidised will be.
