which transition metal of 3d series has positive Eo (M2+/M) value and why??
Dear Student,
Copper is the metal of 3d series which has positive value of E(M2+/M). The electrode potential values depend upon the Enthalpy of atomization , ionization enthalpy and heat of hydration.
Copper has a high heat of atomization and low heats of hydration and more energy is required to Cu to Cu2+ and therefore E0 value for copper is positive, E0(Cu2+/Cu)=+0.34V
Regards!
