For which one of the following elements, M³⁺ M²⁺ standard electrode potential is more positive?
Options
- AV
- BCr
- CMn
- DFe
Correct answer
C. Mn
Step-by-step solution
The reduction potential of Mn ³⁺ / Mn ²⁺ is most positive, because of stability of the half-filled d -subshell in Mn ²⁺ . The V ²⁺ has lowest value due to the stability of V ²⁺ as it is half-filled.
