Which is a stronger reducing agent Cr2+ or Fe2+ and why?
The following reactions are involved when Cr2+ and Fe2+ act as reducing agents.
Cr2+ Cr3+ Fe2+
Fe3+
The value is - 0.41 V and
is +0.77 V. This means that Cr2+ can be easily oxidized to Cr3+, but Fe2+ does not get oxidized to Fe3+ easily. Therefore, Cr2+ is a better reducing agent that Fe3+.
The rate constant for the decomposition of N2O5 at various temperatures is given below:
T/°C |
0 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 |
105 X K /S-1 |
0.0787 | 1.70 | 25.7 | 178 | 2140 |
Draw a graph between ln k and 1/T and calculate the values of A and Ea.
Predict the rate constant at 30 º and 50 ºC.

Cu+2 is reducing because it made half filled t2g level while iron is oxidising because it made half filled d orbital
better to explain in terms of electronic configuration ,since it is difficult to save E0 value.
its because d3 config is more stable than d5 config in aq medium
