Question

Standard electrode potential data are useful for understanding the suitability of an oxidant in a redox titration. Some half - cell reactions and their standared poteintials are given below:

MnO4(aq)+8H+(aq)+5eMn2+(aq)+4H2O(l) ; E=1.51 VCr2O27(aq.)+14H+(aq.)+6e2Cr3+(aq.)+7H2O(l) ; E=1.38 VFe3+(aq.)+eFe2+(aq.) ; E=0.77 VCl2(g)+2e2Cl(aq.); E=1.40 V

Identify the only incorrect statement regarding the quantitative estimation of aqueous Fe(NO3)2.

Solution

The correct option is A MnO4 can be used in aqueous HCl
MnO4 cannot be used in quantitative estimation of Fe(NO3) in the presence of HCl because MnO4 willl also oxidise Cl to Cl2.
