(a) One method to reduce the concentration of unwanted Fe3+(aq) in a                 solution of Fe2+(aq) is to drop a piece of metallic iron into the storage            container. Write the reaction that removes the Fe3+, and compute its              standard cell potential.(b) Referring to problem 23, suggest a way to remove unwanted Mn3+(aq)           from solutions of Mn2+(aq).
