Answer»

`MnO_(4)^(-)` can beusedin aqueous HCI
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` can be used in aqueous HCI
`MnO_(4)^(-)` can be usedin aqueous `H_(2)SO_(4)`
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)`can be used in aqueous `H_(2)SO_(4)`

Solution :The REACTION between `MnO_(4)^(-)` and HCI may be represented as follows
`2MnO_(4)^(-) (AQ)+16H^(+) +10CI^(-) rarr 2Mn^(2+) (aq)+8H_(2)O(I)+5CI_(2)(g)`
Thuson the BASISOF this reactionfollowingelectrochemcial cell will be represented as
since `E_(cell)^(2)=e_(cathode)^(@) -E_(anode)^(2)`
`E_(cell)^(@)` is positive hence `triangle G^(@)` is negativethus above celll reaction is feasible but `MnO_(4)^(-1)`ion can oxidse `FE^(2+)` to `Fe^(3+)`and `CI^(-)` to `CI_(2)` in aqueous medium also
Therefore for quantivative estimiationof aqueous`Fe(NO_(3))_(2)`it is not a suitable reagent
