Answer the following questions: For $M^{2+}/M and M^{3+}/M^{2+}$ systems, $E^\circ$ values for some metals are as follows:
$Cr^{2+}/Cr = - 0.9 V$ $Cr^{3+}/Cr^{2+} = - 0.4 V$
$Mn^{2+}/Mn = 0 1.2 V$ $Mn^{3+}/Mn^{2+} = +1.5 V$
$Fe^{2+}/Fe = - 0.4 V$ $Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+} = +0.8 V$
Use this data to comment upon:
  1. The stability of $Fe^{3+}$ in acid solution as compared to that of $Cr^{3+}$ and $Mn^{3+}.$
  2. The ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to the similar process for either $Cr$ or $Mn$ metals.
