For M^(2+)//M and M^(3+)//M^(2+) systems, the E^(@) values for some metals are as follows : {:(Cr^(2+)//Cr,,=-0.9V,,Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+),,=-0.4V),(Mn^(2+)//Mn,,=-1.2V,,Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+),,=+1.5V),(Fe^(2+)//Fe,,=-0.4V,,Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+),,=+0.8V):} Use this data to comment upon : (a) the stability of Fe^(3+) in acid solution as compared to that of Cr^(3+) or Mu^(3+) and (b) the ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to the similar process for either chromium or manganese metals.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) `CR^(3+)//Cr^(2+)` has a negative reduction potential. Hence, `Cr^(3+)` cannot be reduced to `Cr^(2+)`, i.e., `Cr^(3+)` is most stable. `Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+)` has large POSITIVE `E^(@)` value. Hence, `Mn^(3+)` can be easily reduced to `Mn^(2+)`, i.e., `Mn^(3+)` is LEAST stable. `E^(@)` value for `Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+)` is positive but small. Hence, `Fe^(3+)` is more stable than `Mn^(3+)` but less stable than `Cr^(3+)`. Thus, the stability follows the order :
`Cr^(3)gt Fr^(3+)gt Mn^(3+)`
(b) Oxidation potentials for the given pairs will be `+0.9V,+1.2V` and `+0.4" V"`. Thus, the order of GETTING oxidised will be :

The stability of Fe^(3+) in acid solutio as compared to that of Cr^(3+) or Mn^(3+) and ltbtgt (ii). The case with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.

Answer»

Solution :(i). `((Cr^(3+))/(Cr^(2+)))` has a negative reduction potential. HENCE, `Cr^(3+)` cannot be reduced to `Cr^(2+)`, i.E., `Cr^(3+)` is most stable. `((Mn^(3+))/(Mn^(2+)))` has LARGE positive `E^(ɵ)` value for `((FE^(3+))/(Fe^(2+)))` is positive but small. Hence, `Fe^(3+)` is more stable than `Mn^(3+)` but less stable than `Cr^(3+)`.
(ii). Oxidation potential for the given pairs will be `+0.9V,+1.2V` and `+0.4volt`. Thus, the order of their getting oxidised will be in the order `MngtCrgtFe`.
32.

For M^(2+)//M and M^(3+)//M^(2+) systemsthe E^(@) values for some metals are as follows: {:(Cr^(2+)//Cr,-0.9V,Cr^(3)//Cr^(2+),-0.4V),(Mn^(2+)//Mn,-1.2V,Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+),+1.5V),(Fe^(2+)//Fe,-0.4V,Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+),+0.8V):} 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 chrmoium or magnganess metal.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) The `M^(3+)|M^(2+)` values suggest that `Fe^(3+)` ions in acidic medium is more STABLE than `Mn^(3+)` ions and LESS stable than `Cr^(3+)` because of higher reduction potential.
(ii) `M^(2+)|M` is most negative for Mn and hence Mn will be most easily oxidized. The ease wiht which OXIDATION occurs will be `Mn gt Cr gt Fe`
33.

For M^(2+)//M and M^(3+)//M^(2+) systems the E_0 values for some metals are as follows: {:(Cr^(2+)//Cr,-0.9 V, Cr^3//Cr^(2+),-0.4V),(Mn^(2+)//Mn, -1.2 V, Mn^(3+)//Mn, +1.5V),(Fe^(2+)//Fe, -0.4V. Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+),+0.8V):} Use this data to comment upon : (i) The stability of Fe^(3+ ) in acid solution as compared to that of Cr^(3+) or MnO^(3+), and (ii) The case with which iron can be oxidised as compared to similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Higher the reduction potential of a species, greater is the tendency for its reduction to take place. Therefore, `MN^(3+)` with highest reduction potential would be READILY reduced to `Mn^(2+)` and hence is the least stable.
THUS, from the values of reduction potential, it is clear that stability of `Fe^(3+)` in acidic solution is more stable Mn + but less stable than that of `CR^(3+)`.
(ii) Lower the reduction potential or higher the oxidation potential of a species, greater the ease with which its oxidation will take place. Thus, order of tendency to undergo oxidation is Fe < Cr Mn.
34.

For M^(2+) //M and M^(3+) //M^(2+)system, E^(@) values for some metals are as follows , Cr^(2) //Cr= - 0.9 V l, Cr^(3+) //Cr^(2) = - 0.4 V, Mn^(2+) //Mn = - 1.2 V, Mn^(3+) //Mn^(2+) = + 1.5 V, Fe^(2+) //e= - 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+) and Mn^(3+) (ii)the case with which iron can be oxidized as compared to the similar process for either Cr or Mn metals.

Answer»

Solution :(i) `Cr^(3+) //Cr^(2+)` has a negative reduction POTENTIAL. Hence, `Cr^(3+)` cannotbe reduced to `Cr^(2+) ` ,i.E, `Cr^(3+)` is most stable . `MN^(3+) //Mn^(2+)` has largepositive `E^(@)` value. Hence, `Mn^(3+)` can be easily reduced to `Mn^(2+)` , i.e., `Mn^(3+)` is least stable. `E^(@)` value for`Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+)` is positivebut SMALL. Hence, `Fe^(3+) ` si more stable than `Mn^(3+)` but lessstable than `Cr^(3+)`
(ii) Oxidation potentials for the givenpairs will be `+ 0.9 V , + 1.2 V` and `+ 0.4 ` volt . Thus, the ORDER of their getting oxidized will be in the order `Mn gt Crgt Fe`

For isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, the correct combination of the thermodynamic parameters will be

Answer»

`DELTA U =0, Q = 0 , w ne 0` and ` Delta H ne 0`
`Delta U ne 0 , Q ne 0 , w ne 0` and `Delta H = 0`
`Delta U = 0 , Q ne 0 , w = 0 ` and ` Delta H ne 0`
`Delta U = 0 , Q ne 0 , w ne 0` and `Delta H = 0`

Solution :For ISOTHERMAL PROCESS , ` Delta T= 0`
` THEREFORE Delta U = nC_v Delta T= 0`
` DeltaH = nC_p Delta T = 0`
From first LAW of thermodynamics
` Delta U = Q + w`
As ` Delta U = 0`
` therefore Q = w ne 0`
