Question

Standard electrode potential data are useful for understanding the suitability of an oxidant in a redox titration. Some half cell reactions and their standard potentials are given below: MnO4(aq)+8H+(aq)+6e Mn2+(aq)+4H2O(l)E=1.51V
Cr2O27(aq)+14H+(aq)+6e 2Cr3+(aq)+7H2O(l);E=138V
Fe3+(aq)+eFe2+(aq);E=0.77V
Cl2(g)+2e2Cl(aq);E=140V

Solution

The correct option is A MnO4 can be used in aqueous HCl
MnO4 will oxidise Cl ion according to the equation, 2KMnO4+16H++10Cl
2Mn2++8H2O+5Cl2
The cell corresponding to this reaction is Pt,Cl2(1bar)ClMnO4,Mn2+,H+P1
Ecell =151140=011V
As Ecell is + ve, the above reaction is feasible and MnO4 will oxidise not only Fe2+ ion but Cl ion also.
