Q.
Four successive members of the first row transition elements listed below with atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have the highest Em3+/m2+∘ value?
SRP value normally increases from left to right in the period of d-block elements. Some SRP value are exceptionally higher due to stability of product ion. e.g. EMn3+/Mn2+∘=+1.57V;ECo3+/Co2+∘=+1.97V
Thus, EM3+/M2+∘ is highest for Co.
