Question

E0 values for Mn3+/Mn2+ is much more positive than Cr3+/Cr2+ or Fe+3/Fe+2 couple. why?/////////

Solution

This is because Mn ²⁺ (d⁵)is more stable as compare to Cr²⁺ (d⁴) and Fe²⁺(d⁶).

E^{⊖}

values for some metals are as follows:

$C r^{2 +} / C r$	$- 0.9 V$ $	$C r^{3} / C r^{2 +}$	$- 0.4 V$
$M n^{2 +} / M n$	$- 1.2 V$	$M n^{3 +} / M n^{2 +}$	$+ 1.5 V$
