The standard redox potentials for the ractions `Mn^(2+)+2e^(-)toMn` and `Mn^(3+)+e^(-)toMn^(2+)` are -1.18V and 1.51 V respectively. What is the redox potential for the reaction `Mn^(3+)+3e^(-)toMn`A. 0.33VB. 1.69VC. `-0.28`VD. `-0.85V`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`Mn^(2+)+2e^(-)toMn` . . . .(i)
`DeltaG^(o)=-nFE^(o)=2.36F`
`Mn^(3+)+e^(-)toMn^(2+)` . . .(ii)
`DeltaG^(o)=-nFE^(o)=-1.51F`
Add eqns. (i) and (ii),
`Mn^(3+)+3e^(-)toMn`
`Delta^(0)=2.36F+(-1.51F)=0.85F`
`DeltaG^(0)=-nFE^(o)`
`0.85F=-3xxFxxE^(@)impliesE^(@)=-0.28V`
