Mn2+ Mn3+ + e, Eo = 1.51 V
The o for the reaction 3 Mn2+ Mno + 2Mn3+, and possibility of the forward reaction are respectively
Mn2+ + 2e Mn, Eo = 1.18 V
Mn2+ Mn3+ + e, Eo = 1.51 V
The o for the reaction 3 Mn2+ Mno + 2Mn3+, and possibility of the forward reaction are respectively
- A4.18 V and yes
- B+ 0.33 V and yes
- C+ 2.69 V and no
- D2.69 V and no

Correct answer: D
Mn2+ + 2e Mn, Eo = 1.18 V
Mn2+ Mn3+ + e, Eo = 1.51 V
3Mn2+ Mno + 2Mn3+, Eo = - 1.81 - 1.51 = 2.69 V
Since E° is negative,
G = –nFE°, G will have positive value so,
forward reaction is not possible.
