Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values standard redox potential `(E^(c-))` of two half cell reactions decided which way the reaction is expected to preceed. A simple example is a Daniell cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper sets deposited. Given below are a set of half cell reactions `(` acidic medium `)` along with their `E^(c-)(V` with respect to normal hydrogen electrode `)` values. Using this data, obtain correct explanations for Question. `I_(2)+2e^(-) rarr 2I^(c-)," "E^(c-)=0.54` `Cl_(2)+2e^(-) rarr 2Cl^(c-), " "E^(c-)=1.36` `Mn^(3+)+e^(-) rarr Mn^(2+), " "E^(c-)=1.50` `Fe^(3+)+e^(-) rarr Fe^(2+)," "E^(c-)=0.77` `O_(2)+4H^(o+)+4e^(-) rarr 2H_(2)O, " "E^(c-)=1.23` Sodium fusion extract obtained from aniline on treatment with iron `(II)` sulphate and `H_(2)SO_(4)` in the presence of air gives a Prussion blue precipitate. The blue colour is due to the formation ofA. `Fe_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3)`B. `Fe_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(2)`C. `Fe_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(2)`D. `Fe_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
`Na+C+Nrarr underset(Sodium extract)(NaCN)`
`Fe^(2+)+6CN^(c-)rarr [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)`
`4Fe^(3+)+3[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)rarr underset(Prussai n bl ue ppt )(Fe_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3)`
