Why is the value for `(Mn^(3+))/(Mn^(2+))` couple much more positive than that for `(Cr^(3+))/(Cr^(2+))` or `(Fe^(3+))/(Fe^(2+))`? Explain |
| Answer» Correct Answer - Much larger third ionisation energy of `Mn` (change from 3d^(5) to 3d^(4)`) is responsible for this. This also explains why the `+3` state of `Mn` is of little importance | |
