Question

Dear meritnation team,

I think there is a correction in the chapter 3
electrochemistry part 1 of class 12 in the intext question Q 3 3
where the reduction potential is -0 77 and higher values can
oxidise it but u have mentioned that even O2 can oxidise but its
electrode potential value is -0 68 and hence wont oxidise ferrous
ion

Thank you for ur consideration
Regards,

Dear student,
Any substance having electrode potential more than that of
Fe3+/Fe2+can oxidise it
So substances like O2 , F2 Co3+
etc can be used to oxidise it
