Chapter 19, Problem 14QP

Consider the following halt-reactions:

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{MnO}}_{\text{4}}\left(aq\right){\text{ + 8H}}^{\text{+}}\left(aq\right)\text{ + 5}e\underset{}{\to }{\text{ Mn}}^{2+}\left(aq\right){\text{ +4H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)\hfill \\ {\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}\left(aq\right){\text{ + 4H}}^{\text{+}}\left(aq\right)\text{ +3e }\underset{}{\to }\text{ NO(}g{\text{)+2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O(}l\text{)}\hfill \end{array}$

Predict whether ${\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}$ ions will oxidize ${\text{Mn}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{ to MnO}}_{\text{4}}$ under standard-state conditions.
