NEET 2013 Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Consider the half-cell reduction reaction: Mn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mn, E° = -1.18 V Mn²⁺ → Mn³⁺ + e⁻, E° = -1.51 V The E° for the reaction 3Mn²⁺ → Mn + 2Mn³⁺, and possibility of the forward reaction are respectively:

A

-4.18 V and yes

B

+0.33 V and yes

C

+2.69 V and no

D

-2.69 V and no

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The overall cell potential is calculated by adding the potentials of the half-reactions. A positive E° indicates a spontaneous reaction.
