MCQ
Use the data given in and find out the most stable ion in its reduced form. $\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7/\text{cr}^{3+}}=1.33\text{V}\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cl}_2/\text{Cl}^-}=1.36\text{V}$ $\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{MnO}^-_4/\text{Mn}^{2+}}=1.51\text{V}\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr}}=-0.74\text{V}$
  • A
    $\text{Cl}^-$
  • B
    $\text{Cr}^{3+}$
  • C
    $\text{Cr}$
  • $\text{Mn}^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\text{Mn}^{2+}$
$\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$ is most stale in its reduced form due to highest $\mathrm{E}^0$ value.
