Consider the half-reaction:

[Mn04](aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e ⇌ Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(1)

E°=+1.51V

If the ratio of concentrations of [Mn04] : Mn2+ is 100:1, determine E at pH values of

(a) 0.5;


(b) 2.0; and


(c) 3.5 (T = 298 K). Over this pH range, how does the ability of permanganate(VII) (when being reduced to Mn2_r) to oxidize aqueous chloride, bromide or iodide ions change?
