Q.

Standard electrode potential data are useful for understanding the suitability of an oxidant in a redox titration. Some half cellreactions and their standard potentials are given below: 
MnO4(aq.) +8H+(aq. +5eMn2+ (aq.) +4H2O(l),Eo=1.51V Cr2O72 (aq.) +14H+(aq.)+6e2Cr3+(aq.)+7H2O(l)E=1.38V Fe3+(aq.)+eFe2+(aq.) E=0.77V Cl2(g)+2e2Cl(aq.)  E=1.40V
Identify the only incorrect statement regarding the quantitative estimation of aqueous FeNO32

Detailed Solution

MnO4will oxidise Cl ion according to the equation 
2MnO4+16H++10Cl2Mn2++8H2O+5Cl2
The cell corresponding to this reaction is as follows: 
Pt,Cl2(1atm)ClMnO4,Mn2+,H+Pt
Ecell o=1.511.40=0.11V
Ecell 0 being +ve, ΔG will be -ve and hence the above 

reaction is feasible. MnO4 will not only oxidise Fe2+
ion but also Clion simultaneously.
