प्रश्न
For M2+/M and M3+/M2+systems, the EΘ values for some metals are as follows:
| Cr2+/Cr | −0.9 V |
| Mn2+/Mn | −1.2 V |
| Fe2+/Fe | −0.4 V |
| Cr3/Cr2+ | −0.4 V |
| Mn3+/Mn2+ | +1.5 V |
| Fe3+/Fe2+ | +0.8 V |
Use this data to comment upon:
The ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.
उत्तर
The oxidation potentials for Fe, Cr, and Mn are +0.4 V, +0.9 V, and +1.2 V, respectively. Hence, the order of ease of oxidation of these is Mn > Cr > Fe.
