MCQ
Four successive members of the first row transition elements are listed below with atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have the highest $E^o_{M^{3+} /M^{2+}}$ value ?
  • A
    $Cr\,(Z=24)$
  • B
    $Mn\,(Z = 25)$
  • C
    $Fe\,(Z=26)$
  • $Co\,(Z = 27)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Co\,(Z = 27)$
d
$E^{0}_{C r^{3+} / C r^{2+}}=\,-\,0.41\, V  $

$\mathrm{E}^{0}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}}=+0.77 \,\mathrm{V}$

$\mathrm{E}^{0}_{\mathrm{Co}^{3+} / \mathrm{Co}^{2+}}=+1.97\, \mathrm{V}$

$E^{0}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{3+} / \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}=+1.57\, \mathrm{V}$
