JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

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 ?

  1. A \(Cr\,(Z=24)\)
  2. B \(Mn\,(Z = 25)\)
  3. C \(Fe\,(Z=26)\)
  4. D \(Co\,(Z = 27)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(Co\,(Z = 27)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E^{0}_{C r^{3+} / C r^{2+}}=\,-\,0.41\, V \) \(\mathrm{E}^{0}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}}=+0.77 \,\mathrm{V}\) \(\mathrm{E}^{0}_{\mathrm{Co}^{3+} / \mathrm{Co}^{2+}}=+1.97\, \mathrm{V}\) \(E^{0}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{3+} / \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}=+1.57\, \mathrm{V}\)
