Solution

The correct option is A 1.7 V
MnO4+8H++5eMn2++4H2O
E=1.51 V....(1)ΔG1
MnO2+4H++2eMn2++2H2O
E=1.23 V....(2)ΔG2
On reversing equation (2) we get
Mn2++2H2OMnO2+4H++2e...(3)
E=1.23 V...(3)ΔG3
On addition of equation (1), (3) we get,
MnO4+4H++3e2H2O+MnO2
EMnO4|MnO2ΔG04
We know,ΔG0=nFE
So,ΔG04=ΔG1+ΔG3
3FE0MnO4/MnO2=5F(1.51)+[2F(1.23)]
3E0MnO4/MnO2=5×1.51+2×1.23
3E0MnO4/MnO2=7.55+2.46
E0MnO4/MnO2=5.093=1.6961.7 V
