TheEM3+/M2+ovalues for Cr, Mn, Fe and Co are -0.41, +1.57, +0.77 and +1.97 V respectively. For which one of following metal the change in oxidation state from +2 to +3 easiest?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

HereERPoof Cr = - 0.41 so itsEOPois 0.41.
As hereEOPoforCr2+/Cr3+is maximum +0.41 V soCr2+will be easily oxidised toCr3+.
For rest of the metalsEOPowill be negative so they have less tendency to be oxidized then Cr here.
