Standard electrode potential data are useful for understanding the suitability of an oxidant in a redox titration. Some half cell reactions and their standard potentials are given below :
\(\mathrm{MnO}_{4(a q)}^{-}+8 \mathrm{H}_{(a q)}^{+}+5 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}_{(a q)}^{2+}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)}\)
; E° = 1.51 V
\(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7(a q)}^{2-}+14 \mathrm{H}_{(a q)}^{+}+6 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}_{(a q)}^{3+}+7 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
; E° = 1.38 V
\(\mathrm{Fe}_{(a q)}^{3+}+e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{(a q)}^{2+}\) ; E° = 0.77 V
\(\mathrm{Cl}_{2(g)}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cl}_{(a q)}^{-}\); E° = 1.40 V
Identify the only incorrect statement regarding the quantitative estimation of aqueous Fe(NO3)2.
  1. MnO4 can be used in aqueous HCl.
  2. Cr2O72– can be used in aqueous HCl.
  3. MnO4 can be used in aqueous H2SO4.
  4. Cr2O72– can be used in aqueous H2SO4.

Answer

(A) MnO 4 – can be used in aqueous HCl.
