20 Manganese exists in different oxidation states which can be interconverted, using suitable oxidizing and reducing agents. to complete the table below in which two E (cid:57) values are missing. (a) Use relevant standard electrode potential values, from page 17 of the Data Booklet, D O N O T W R I T E I N T H I S A R E A D O N O T W R I T E I N T H I S A R E A D O N O T W R I T E I N T H I S A R E A Half-equation MnO4 (aq) + e (cid:85) MnO4 2(aq) MnO4 2(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2e (cid:85) MnO2(s) + 4OH(aq) Mn3+(aq) + e (cid:85) Mn2+(aq) MnO4 (aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e (cid:85) Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) BiO3 (aq) + 6H+(aq) + 2e (cid:85) Bi3+(aq) + 3H2O(l) Fe3+(aq) + e (cid:85) Fe2+(aq) (1) E (cid:57)/ V +1.49 +1.51 +1.60 +0.77 (b) The apparatus below is used to measure the standard electrode potential of Mn3+(aq) + e (cid:85) Mn2+(aq) hydrogen gas platinum electrode solution containing H+(aq) 16 *P46665A01632*<br />
 Identify, by name or formula, the substances needed in the salt bridge and the right-hand half-cell to measure the standard electrode potential. The measurement is made at 298 K and 1 atm. State the other essential condition for solution C.

 *(d) Iron(II) ions in solution are oxidized by the air to iron(III) ions. The amounts of iron(II) and iron(III) ions in solution can be found by using titrations with acidified potassium manganate(VII) which only reacts with the iron(II) ions. MnO4+ 5Fe2+ + 8H+ (cid:314) Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O25.0cm3 portions of a solution A, containing a mixture of iron(II) and iron(III) ions, were acidified and titrated with potassium manganate(VII) solution of concentration 0.0195mol dm3.The mean titre was 16.80cm3.About 150 cm3 of solution A was reacted with excess zinc, which reduced the iron(III) ions to iron(II) ions. The excess zinc was filtered off.25.0cm3 portions of this reduced solution, which contained iron(II) ions but no iron(III) ions were acidified and titrated with potassium manganate(VII) solution of concentration 0.0195 mol dm3.The mean titre was 18.20cm3. Calculate the mass of iron(II) ions and the mass of iron(III) ions in 500cm3 of the original solution A.
