Question
  1. The following reduction potentials are known for various 3+ first-row transition metal ions in aqueous solution:

 

Mn3+(aq) + e- --> Mn2+(aq)            Eo = 1.51 V

Fe3+(aq) + e- --> Fe2+(aq)     E0= 0.77 V

Co3+(aq) + e- --> Co2+(aq)   E0= 1.84 V

Explain why the reduction potential for Fe3+ is abnormally low.
