The standard reduction potential of the permanganate ion, MnO4-, to Mn2+ is 1.51 volt, when it takes place in an acidic aqueous solution. The normal reduction potentials of ions Zn2+, Ag+ and Au+ are, respectively, 0.7618, 0.7992 and 1.692 V (in aqueous solution). Introducing a Pt electrode in a MnO4-/ Mn2+ solution, with a salt bridge, and putting it together with the other electrodes (Zn, Au or Ag) and their aqueous solutions, a) Comment in which case will the permanganate oxide the metals b) Justify your answer c) In those cases where the oxidation takes place, write the diagram of the cell d) Calculate the standard potential of the cells, Eºcell.
