Which of the following has maximum first ionisation energy ?
$Pd$ (atomic no. $= 46$)
$Ag$ (atomic no. $= 47$)
$Rb$ (atomic no. $= 37$)
$Y$ (atomic no. $= 39$)
Why $E^o$ values for $Mn,\,Ni$ and $Zn$ are more negative than expected ?
For $M ^{2+} / M$ and $M ^{3+} / M ^{2+}$ systems, the ${E^\Theta }$ values for some metals are as follows:
$Cr ^{2+} / Cr \,-0.9 \,V$
$Cr ^{3} / Cr ^{2+}\,-0.4 \,V$
$Mn ^{2+} / Mn \,-1.2\, V$
$Mn ^{3+} / Mn ^{2+}\,+1.5 \,V$
$Fe ^{2+} / Fe\, -0.4 \,V$
$Fe ^{3+} / Fe ^{2+}\,+0.8\, V$
Use this data to comment upon:
$(i)$ The stability of $Fe ^{3+}$ in acid solution as compared to that of $Cr ^{3+}$ or $Mn ^{3+}$ and
$(ii)$ The ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.
