MCQ
Given below are the half-cell reactions :

$Mn^{2+} +2e- \rightarrow Mn;\, E^o = -1.18\,V$

$2(Mn^{3+} +e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+} )\,;\,E^o=+1.51\,V$

The $E^o$ for $3Mn^{2+} \rightarrow Mn+ 2Mn^{3+}$ will be :

  • $-2.69\, V;$ the reaction will not occur
  • B
    $-2.69\,V; $ the reaction will occur
  • C
    $-0.33\, V;$ the reaction will not occur
  • D
    $-0.33 V;$ the reaction will occur

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-2.69\, V;$ the reaction will not occur
a
(a) $\quad M n^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow M n ; \quad E^{\circ}=-1.18 V ; \ldots(i)$

(b) $\quad M n^{3+}+e \rightarrow M n^{2+} ; \quad E^{\circ}=-1.51 V ; \ldots(i i)$

Now multiplying equation $(i i)$ by two and subtracting from equation $(i)$

$3 M n^{2+} \rightarrow M n^{+}+2 M n^{3+}$

$E^{\circ}=E_{O_{X}}+E_{\mathrm{Red} .}=-1.18+(-1.51)=-2.69 \mathrm{V}$

$[-\text { ve value of } E M F(\text { i.e., } \Delta G=+v e)$$ \text { shows that the reaction is non-spontaneous }]$
