Assertion : Reduction potential of Mn (+3 to +2) is more positive than Fe (+3 to +2).

Reason: Ionisation potential of Mn is more than that of Fe.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.


C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

Mn2+ = [Ar] 3d5; Mn3+ = [Ar] 3d4; Fe2+ = [Ar] 3d6; Fe3+ = [Ar] 3d5

Thus, Mn2+ has more stable configuration than Mn3+ while Fe3+ has more stable configuration than Fe2+. Hence, reduction potential for Mn3+/ Mn2+ couple is more positive than Fe3+/ Fe2+.
