Given below are half cell reactions:

MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O, E° = +1.51 V

1/2 Ω₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂O, E° = +1.23 V

Will the permanganate ion, MnO₄⁻ liberate O₂ from water in the presence of

Question

Given below are half cell reactions:

MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O, E° = +1.51 V

1/2 Ω₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂O, E° = +1.23 V

Will the permanganate ion, MnO₄⁻ liberate O₂ from water in the presence of an acid?

Accepted Answer

No, because E°cell = -0.287 V

Answer

Yes, because E°cell = +2.733 V

Answer

No, because E°cell = -2.733 V

Answer

Yes, because E°cell = +0.287 V
