For which one of the following elements, M 3 + ∣ M 2 + standard electrode potential is more positive?
Options
- AV
- BCr
- CMn
- DFe
Correct answer
C. Mn
Step-by-step solution
Element SEP ( M 3 + / M 2 + ) V V 3 + / V 2 + = - 0 . 26   V Cr Cr 3 + / Cr 2 + = - 0 . 4   V Mn Mn 3 + / Mn 2 + = 1 . 5   V Fe Fe 3 + / Fe 2 +   = 0 . 8   V Mn 3 + / Mn 2 + has large positive value and M 3 + is least stable as it can be easily reduced to Mn 2 + .
